[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Kwon Seong-dong, a member of the People Power Party, raised his voice regarding the Itaewon Halloween accident, warning against the spread of 'fake news' online and urging, "Do not judge political advantages or disadvantages, but prioritize consolation and accident recovery above all else."

On the 31st, Kwon stated through his social network service (SNS), "No one has the right to consume another person's death as energy for political struggle."

He added, "Currently, fake news and rumors are spreading in online spaces. We must mature. National grief should not be transformed into partisan anger."

He continued, "Regarding the Itaewon accident, we should not judge any political advantages or disadvantages, but prioritize consolation and accident recovery as the top priority," and said, "The tragic accident must not become a tool for confusion, conflict, or political strife. Being vigilant against such movements is also part of bipartisan cooperation."

Kwon said, "Conflicts between the ruling and opposition parties are not new, but at least in the face of a disaster where young people have died, we must stop."
