Lee Won-taek, Kim Kwan-young Campaign Camps Denounce Allegations of Social Media Terror, Assassination Plots

The election committees for Lee Won-taek of the Democratic Party of Korea and independent candidate Kim Kwan-young have condemned allegations of 'SNS terror and assassination plots' targeting Jeong Cheong-rae, a supreme council member of the Democratic Party of Korea, urging the eradication of violent acts during the election process.

Both election committees emphasized that no act of violence is acceptable during the election process, with Kim Kwan-young's committee specifically adding that they would immediately cooperate with the Democratic Party's central party upon receiving information related to violence.

This condemnation of the allegations and the joint response from both election committees are heightening tensions throughout the election campaigns, amplifying concerns that the heated rhetoric and smear campaigns surrounding the Jeonbuk provincial governor election could escalate into violent confrontations, alongside the 'Jeong Cheong-rae avatar' controversy.
