[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Kim Dae-jung, candidate for Jeonnam Superintendent of Education, issued an urgent press release on the 31st, stating, “The opposing candidate is misleading voters by hanging a false banner claiming ‘High School Relocation Confirmed’ in Suncheon Shindae District,” and urged immediate correction.

Candidate Kim said, “After confirming with a senior official of the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education, I received a response that it is completely unfounded,” and criticized, “No matter how unfavorable the election is, is it necessary to resort to false banners?”

Kim added, “How can a candidate who advocates true education and prides himself as a true teacher engage in such a despicable act?” and insisted, “No matter how urgent, a true teacher should not tell lies.”

He continued, “What is even more ridiculous is that when it was revealed that the banner stating ‘Shindae High School Relocation Confirmed’ was false, they inserted the word ‘ 추진 (promotion)’ in tiny letters between ‘relocation’ and ‘confirmed’ so that it is hardly visible,” adding, “This behavior reveals their true colors.”

Furthermore, he emphasized, “The word ‘ 추진 (promotion)’ is barely visible at a glance,” and “There have been continuous reports from residents saying there is no comedy like this comedy.”
