Lee Jun-seok: "The act of tearing down Gwangju People Power Party banners is that of villains mired in ideological conflict and regional strife"

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, criticized the tearing of campaign banners of Joo Ki-hwan, the People Power Party candidate for Gwangju mayor, and Kwak Seung-yong, a district council member of Buk-gu, saying, "The person who did such an act is not an ordinary citizen of Gwangju but a villain obsessed with ideological confrontation and regional conflict."

On the night of the 19th, after finishing election campaigning in the Seoul area, Lee headed to Gwangju. This was to personally rehang the candidate's banner that had been torn in front of the back gate of Chonnam National University.

After rehanging the banner, he appealed through social media, "After finishing my schedule yesterday, I took the Kumho Express bus early this morning to Gwangju and personally climbed a ladder to rehang the banner at the back gate of Chonnam National University," adding, "I ask the citizens of Gwangju to protect these banners from villains who try to divide us and incite conflict."

He said, "I will work harder to make up for any shortcomings," and urged, "Please protect our candidates and support them so that their determination does not waver."
