Park Woolyang, the Shinan County governor candidate from the Democratic Party of Korea, has addressed the spread of false information and malicious slander that has recently been circulating during the election process.
On the morning of May 12, Park held a press conference in the briefing room of the South Jeolla Provincial Council, where he announced his position regarding the 'distorted and slanderous content' being raised in the current election process, as well as his plans for future responses.
During the press conference, Park expressed strong regret over the repeated dissemination of false and distorted information through certain YouTube channels and other platforms, and outlined his intention to respond in accordance with the law and established principles.
He also voiced concerns about the election turning into a contest of mudslinging and rumors between candidates, emphasizing the need to establish an election culture centered on policies and vision.
Park stated, "An election should be a process of competing over the future of the region," adding, "Baseless slander and the spread of false information cloud the proper judgment of local residents and hinder regional development."
