On the 7th, it was reported that the police summoned and investigated Jeon Han-gil, a Korean history lecturer who was accused of publicizing false information related to Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party of Korea presidential candidate, during the 6.3 presidential election.
According to the police, the Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul summoned Jeon for an investigation in the afternoon on allegations of violating the Public Official Election Act.
In May, during the presidential election period, Jeon uploaded a video related to President Lee on his YouTube channel "Jeon Han-gil News." The video included Lee's comment during his tenure as the mayor of Seongnam, stating, "I will ensure that sexual minorities must exceed 30% in public institutions or financial institutions."
The Democratic Party of Korea reported Jeon to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency for publicizing false facts with the intent to disqualify him, saying the video distorted President Lee's remarks. The Yeongdeungpo Police Station is in charge of the case.
Before the complainant's investigation on that day, Jeon stated that the video was uploaded by an employee, not by him, and that the content of the video was exactly what President Lee said, thus asserting that it was not false information.
