People Power Party files complaint against DP candidate for spreading false information

Kwak Kyu-taek, Chairman of the People Power Party's Legal Advisory Committee, and others filed a complaint against Jeon Jae-soo, the Democratic Party's candidate for Busan Mayor, at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in Seocho-gu, Seoul, on the 17th, accusing him of spreading false information related to Unification Church allegations. Han Dong-hoon, former leader of the People Power Party, urged candidate Jeon on April 17, [year], saying, "You must sue," and claimed he would be punished for perjury and spreading false information. In response, Jeon's camp also vowed legal action, and the dispute involving the prosecution is spreading, intertwined with the election campaign.

Kim Yong, former deputy director of the Democratic Institute, on April 17, [year], characterized the investigation itself as a political frame-up on KBS Radio, stating, "Waiting for a Supreme Court ruling is the logic of political prosecution."

Amidst a leadership vacuum and nomination conflicts, a 'fend for yourself' movement is emerging, with candidates campaigning independently of central party support.
