[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seung-jin] The campaign of Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, filed a complaint with the prosecution on the 24th against a professor who raised the 'Daejang-dong suspicion' and a reporter who reported related content.

The campaign stated that they reported Professor Lee from Kyungpook National University and Reporter Park from Chosun Ilbo to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office on charges of violating the Public Official Election Act and defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act.

The campaign explained, "Chosun Ilbo reported that Professor Lee said, 'The profits from Daejang-dong were recovered and returned to the citizens, but this is not profit; it falls under costs that the project entity must bear.'

They added, "Although Professor Lee had no knowledge of the specific details of the Daejang-dong project, he used definitive expressions as if fact-checking was complete, leading the public to believe his statements were true," and "The reporter was also aware of these facts."
