The Damyang, Hampyeong, Yeonggwang, and Jangseong Regional Committee of the Democratic Party has called for a swift and thorough investigation by law enforcement authorities regarding the recent controversy surrounding the so-called "Jang Seil Yeonggwang County Chief's Second Daughter Bribery Entrapment Video" (as reported by this publication on the 21st). The committee has also raised the possibility of political maneuvering, particularly as the incident is spreading ahead of the primary and may affect the candidate.

On March 22, the regional committee submitted a petition for investigation stating, "The 'bribery entrapment video' incident related to the Democratic Party's prospective candidate for Yeonggwang County Chief is causing great confusion and concern in the local community," and added, "This is a serious matter that cannot rule out organizational involvement beyond a simple personal deviation."

The core issue of the controversy lies in the circumstances of the filming and distribution of the video, which is interpreted as targeting Yeonggwang County Chief Jang Seil.

The regional committee argued, "The incident was raised and spread at a time when the primary is imminent, and considering the timing and manner in which the candidate's child was approached, it is difficult to dismiss the possibility that the intention was to politically damage a specific candidate, namely County Chief Jang Seil."

Regarding the rapid spread of the incident through some media reports, the committee added, "A thorough verification of the overall reporting process is necessary."

The regional committee specifically demanded prompt and compulsory action by the investigative authorities.

They emphasized, "Given concerns about the destruction of evidence, active investigation measures such as search and seizure and mobile phone forensics must be initiated immediately," and added, "All involved parties must be thoroughly investigated to determine whether there was any conspiracy or orchestrator behind the incident."

Furthermore, the committee stated, "If any illegal acts are confirmed, strict punishment should be imposed according to law and principles so that similar acts of electoral interference do not recur."

The regional committee expressed, "Illegal interference in elections that threatens democracy must be eradicated," and stated, "We hope that a fair and thorough investigation by law enforcement authorities will clearly reveal the full circumstances of the incident."

Both inside and outside political circles, attention is being paid to the possibility that this incident may go beyond mere suspicion and serve as a variable that could actually influence the outcome of the election.

Meanwhile, on this day, the Damyang, Hampyeong, Yeonggwang, and Jangseong Regional Committee of the Democratic Party directly submitted the petition concerning this matter to the Yeonggwang Police Station and officially requested an investigation into the related details.
