Democratic Party Candidate Yang Seung-jo: "I Will Hold Candidate Kang Seung-gyu Accountable for False Incitement Until the End"

Press Conference at Chungnam Provincial Office... "Statements Made by Candidate Kang at the Debate Are Clear Lies"

Yang Seung-jo, the Democratic Party of Korea candidate for the National Assembly representing Hongseong-gun and Yesan-gun in Chungnam, urged on the 3rd, "The campaign of People Power Party candidate Kang Seung-gyu must stop spreading false information."

At a press conference held at the Chungnam Provincial Office that day, Yang said, "Before the 2022 Chungnam gubernatorial election, over 800 banners were hung in Cheonan and Asan accusing me of sexual harassment. The case ended without even a police summons."

He added, "Amid the anger, anxiety, and fear caused by that incident, I am holding this press conference to strongly respond to intelligence that illegal banners are being put up again in this election. The Kang campaign should not incite the public with baseless claims."

Yang refuted, "The statements Kang made at the debate are clear lies. Chungnam Innovation Sanghoe is a shared economy platform project jointly established in 2019 by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, Chungnam Province, and Cheonan City. Since the project was implemented targeting the Cheonan Central Logistics Center, the claim that the project location was moved from Hongseong to Cheonan is false."

He continued, "The Chungnam Knowledge Industry Center and the International Convention Center are part of the 'KTX Station Area R&D Cluster Development Project,' a campaign pledge by President Moon Jae-in in February 2018. Since I took office as governor in July 2018, this is not factual."

Yang emphasized, "I urge a thorough investigation by judicial authorities into Kang, who has been accused of disseminating false information. Regardless of the election outcome, I will hold Kang accountable to the end for spreading falsehoods."
