The Democratic Party of Korea continued its 'Libak School' offensive on the 2nd, the day before the presidential election. Park Chan-dae, the head of the Democratic Party's central campaign committee, once again demanded that Kim Moon-soo, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, 'immediately reveal the truth about Libak School to the public.'

Libak School, a conservative organization, is suspected of creating a team called 'Zason Army (a free finger army saving the nation with comments)' to manipulate public opinion. The Democratic Party believes there is a strong connection to candidate Kim.

At a central campaign committee meeting held at the party headquarters that morning, head Park declared that 'evidence is steadily emerging of Kim's connection to Libak School.'

Park continued, 'In 2020, a video report of activities uploaded by Libak School on YouTube featured candidate Kim, and it is said that the head of Libak School has flaunted ties with Kim since 2018. Moreover, YouTube's "Kim Moon-soo TV" is listed as a partner in the education organized by Libak School. Is candidate Kim still claiming to know nothing of Libak School?'

Kim Moon-soo TV is a YouTube channel personally operated by candidate Kim. Regarding the alleged connection to Libak School raised by the Democratic Party, candidate Kim clarified on the 1st, saying it was 'completely unknown' to him.

Head Park stated that 'Libak School systematically orchestrated public opinion manipulation by forming Zason Army to post false defamatory comments about Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party candidate.' He went on to say, 'The comment operation by the far-right group Libak School is a clear election fraud and cyber rebellion aimed at undermining the presidential election.'

Park further remarked, 'If true, this would be a serious crime on par with the National Intelligence Service's comment manipulation case under the Lee Myung-bak administration or the government textbook scandal under the Park Geun-hye administration.' He added, 'Libak School's YouTube videos are already being deleted. Evidence must not be further destroyed. We urge the police to conduct a swift and strict investigation.'
