"Election Fraud? Not Something to Say After Losing an Election Invalidation Lawsuit"
"Do Not Avoid a Public Debate"
Lee Jun-seok, a member of the Reform New Party, publicly challenged former Future United Party (now People Power Party) lawmaker Min Kyung-wook, who raised suspicions of election fraud by saying, "What do you know about election fraud to be talking nonsense?" to a public debate.
Reform New Party lawmaker Lee Jun-seok has proposed a public debate with former Future United Party (now People Power Party) lawmaker Min Kyung-wook.
On the 1st, Lee posted on Facebook, "Min Kyung-wook said, 'What do Lee Jun-seok and Kwon Seong-dong, the floor leader of the People Power Party, know about election fraud to discuss it?' But I don't think it's something that someone who filed an election lawsuit with the Supreme Court and ultimately lost can say," adding, "If you are really confident, you can request a broadcasting station to arrange a public debate. It can be KBS, which is Min Kyung-wook's home turf, or a comprehensive programming channel is also fine."
Lee reminded, "Those who claim election fraud always say, 'We need an investigation, not a debate,' but issues like the Rising Sun Flag, cabbage leaf, and vote counting machine problems have already been thoroughly investigated, and the result was the Supreme Court's ruling to dismiss the election invalidation lawsuit filed by Min Kyung-wook." He also linked to a news article about Min, who lost the Incheon Yeonsu-eul election in the April 15, 2020 general election and took the election invalidation lawsuit all the way to the Supreme Court, ultimately losing. He emphasized again that the conclusion was reached through an investigation by experts designated by Min Kyung-wook in the court.

Lee said, "They tried to pressure the National Election Commission excessively and even tried to involve the military, but in the end, they found nothing, and the only thing they took pictures of was the server, which they called martial law," adding, "Since there is nothing, aren't they building a castle in the air by saying the U.S. is intervening or that they caught Chinese people?" He pressed again, "If you are ignorant, at least be brave. Will you continue to avoid the debate, Mr. Min Kyung-wook?"
On the 30th of last month, Min posted on Facebook, "What do Kwon Seong-dong, Hong Jun-pyo, and Lee Jun-seok know about election fraud, talking as if it happened or not?" and wrote, "Despite harsh pressure and ridicule from the world, I, Min Kyung-wook, have devoted the past five years of time and passion entirely to uncovering the truth." After losing in the 21st general election, Min filed an election invalidation lawsuit in May 2020, refusing to accept the results. The Supreme Court, after on-site verification, ultimately concluded that there was no election fraud or vote manipulation, but Min continues to claim election fraud and demands a truth investigation.
