Jeon Hangil: "The Election Commission Caused Confusion with 'Election Fraud Allegations'... Let's Recount Votes Like Taiwan"

Jeon Hangil, Korean History Instructor, Addresses Allegations of Election Fraud
"CEC, a Total Bundle of Corruption and Suspicion"
"Supreme Court, Political Judges Cannot Be Trusted"

Jeon Hangil, regarded as the 'top instructor' for Korean history for civil servants, claimed that the Central Election Commission (CEC) caused the confusion surrounding the impeachment crisis of President Yoon Seok-yeol by raising suspicions of election fraud. On the 20th, a video titled "The Republic of Korea's Confusion Was Caused by the CEC" was uploaded to Jeon's YouTube channel 'Kkotboda Jeon Hangil.' This video has spread online, recording 440,000 views within 8 hours of being posted.

Korean history instructor Jeon Han-gil poured out criticism toward the National Election Commission on his YouTube channel. YouTube

Jeon asked, "Why would I step forward to make a video amid martial law and the impeachment crisis?" and then asserted, "The Korean media has already collapsed in fair reporting on the current situation, and is gaslighting the public through biased coverage favoring certain ideologies and political parties."

He said, "When martial law was declared, 280 martial law troops were deployed to the National Assembly, and even more, 297, were deployed to the CEC, which left everyone bewildered. The president who declared martial law was neither a candidate who lost the election nor someone who would gain from an investigation as the elected president, so I wondered 'why.' As a civil servant instructor with many students working at the CEC, I looked into many materials and was shocked," he revealed.

He continued, "The CEC is a state agency operated with taxpayers' money and staffed by civil servants, yet it resisted audits by the Board of Audit and Inspection and even rejected investigations by the National Intelligence Service into North Korean cyberterrorism and hacking suspicions. I was surprised that the CEC is such an absolute power institution," adding, "Not only the president but also the current opposition leader, opposition lawmakers, former ruling party leaders, and ruling party lawmakers are all raising suspicions of election fraud, revealing it as a total bundle of corruption and suspicion."

Jeon raised the possibility of computer manipulation in early voting and electronic vote counting machines. Regarding the Supreme Court's rejection of such claims, he expressed distrust in the judiciary. He said, "Didn't I say that political judges' rulings cannot be trusted? During the investigation of election fraud, the recount process was restricted from being public, the original server suspected of manipulation was not disclosed, server login data was not released, and analysis of electronic vote counting machines was prohibited. So, who would believe that a proper, transparent, and fair investigation and trial process took place?"

He expressed hope that, like Taiwan, the election system would become the most transparent and fair through manual voting and hand counting without moving ballot boxes. "What if counting takes a little longer? Even if it costs more, our people want to cherish the exercise of their most important democratic right, 'voting,' and through that, I hope the Republic of Korea truly becomes a country where the people are the owners," he added.

However, manual counting is already conducted in elections in our country. According to the CEC, Korea adopts a manual vote counting method where counting staff visually inspect ballots to determine valid and invalid votes. Ballot sorting machines are used as auxiliary tools.
