Candidate Kim San's Election Office Regrets Malicious Reporting Before Early Voting

'Must Win County Residents' Choice Through Policy Election Rather Than Slandering Opponents'

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] The campaign office of independent candidate number 5, Kim San, running for Muan County Governor, expressed regret over malicious reports linking a specific incident to the election and negative campaigning based on false information.

On the 28th, Kim San's campaign office expressed regret that malicious speculative reports emerged while Kim was leading in various opinion polls and suppressing the Democratic Party wave.

Recently, some media outlets reported speculatively that Muan County signed a private contract on the 23rd with company A, which moved into the Muan local agro-industrial complex, and that illicit backdoor dealings occurred, with election funds allegedly delivered to Kim's side.

Following this, successive follow-up reports have appeared, and indiscriminate negative campaigning is taking place on SNS with false claims such as "the candidate has withdrawn" and "is under prosecution investigation," which was criticized.

In response, Kim's side emphasized that these claims are completely untrue, that Muan County is currently operating under the authority of the deputy county governor acting as head of administration, and that Kim is conducting intense election campaigns day and night without rest.

In particular, they explained that the 23rd was a very busy day preparing for the next day's broadcaster election debate and campaign schedule, leaving no time to pay attention to other matters.

They argued that the speculative reports on the 26th, the day before early voting, seem intended to shake the public sentiment of the county residents.

Finally, Kim's side strongly expressed regret once again over the malicious reports and stated that rather than slandering opposing candidates with unverified falsehoods, the election should be decided by policies chosen by the county residents.
