Lee Jun-seok "Kim Tae-woo Campaign Support? One Betrayal Is Enough"

A Post Refuting Campaign Support on SNS
"Kim Tae-woo Asked for Help? That Would Never Happen"

Former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok rejected Rep. Yoon Sang-hyun's suggestion to "go out on the campaign trail to support the by-election for the Gangseo District Mayor even if the party does not request it," saying, "It is enough to be betrayed by someone you helped once, and to be deceived by a candidate who is 양두구육 (a person who is different inside and out) once."

Lee made this statement in a post on Facebook on the 5th. He said, "I know why Rep. Yoon Sang-hyun made such a proposal. I once accompanied candidate Kim Tae-woo (People Power Party candidate for Gangseo District Mayor) when he appeared for investigation at the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office during the difficult times under the Moon Jae-in administration."

However, he added, "After the last local election, candidate Kim Tae-woo continued to run a channel called Kim Tae-woo TV, where for several months they kept releasing content aimed at killing Lee Jun-seok's reputation. Now, those who were active on Kim Tae-woo TV have started a new channel and are relentlessly attacking by raising suspicions about Lee Jun-seok's academic background. Therefore, reports that candidate Kim Tae-woo's side is requesting help are likely false. If they had any shame, such a thing would not happen."

He went on to say, "This election should be thoroughly centered around the president, with people who are aligned with the president's mindset, and those who blindly follow the president. And it is enough to be betrayed by someone you helped once, and to be deceived by a candidate who is 양두구육 once."
