Staged Video Used to Disrupt the Primary
Spreading False Information... An Act That Undermines Democracy
Firm Response with Zero Tolerance for Political Manipulation

Lim Jirak, a preliminary candidate from the Democratic Party of Korea running for Hwasun County Governor in South Jeolla Province, has come forward to strongly refute the recent "envelope of cash allegations" and the "controversial election fraud video."

On April 17, at a press conference held in the small conference room of the county council, Lim stated, "There is a clear problem with some local media reporting unverified suspicions as facts and with the decision to suspend the primary election based on these reports." He added, "I have already filed a complaint with the authorities regarding the dissemination of false information."

In particular, regarding the recently disputed video, he asserted, "A video unrelated to the primary has been distorted and circulated as evidence of election fraud, with even rival candidates presenting it as if it were true." He criticized this as "false agitation deceiving the residents of the county."

Lim called on both the South Jeolla Provincial Party and the central headquarters of the Democratic Party of Korea to "clearly state the reasons for suspending the primary without verifying the facts, and to strictly punish those responsible for false reporting and agitation."

In conclusion, Lim emphasized, "If these demands are not met, I will fight to the end alongside the residents to protect our honor and dignity."
