Assemblyman Jo Guk of the Jo Guk Innovation Party posted on social networking service (SNS) but immediately deleted it. It appears he mistook a fabricated fake news image for an actual debate scene and posted it.

On the 11th, Assemblyman Jo shared an image related to the 'OX' segment of the first TV debate for the People Power Party's party leader candidates held on the 9th, writing, "Wigs are not a crime; the hardships of bald people are severe." He then sarcastically added, "The problem is that this is an issue in the ruling party's convention. It's a comedy."

However, when it was pointed out that the question in the photo was a manipulated image, Assemblyman Jo quickly took down the post. It seems he mistook the fabricated fake news photo for an actual debate screen and posted about it.

The manipulated image shows all candidates except candidate Han Dong-hoon holding signs marked 'O' (Yes) in response to the question, "Is candidate Han's hair a wig?" The broadcast is part of the debate held on the 9th. During that debate, O/X quiz questions related to political issues were asked, such as "If Mrs. Kim Geon-hee had apologized, do you think the general election results would have changed?" and "Do you think the Democratic Party candidate in the 2027 presidential election will be Lee Jae-myung?"
