Myeong Taegyun "Never Met Mayor Park Hyungjun"... Refuting Kang Hyekyung's Claim

Direct Rebuttal on Facebook on the 12th
"No Phone Number for Mayor Park Either"

Ahead of the April 7, 2021 Busan mayoral by-election, Myung Tae-gyun denied Kang Hye-kyung's claim that he had met several times with Park Hyung-joon, the People Power Party candidate for Busan mayor at the time.

On the 12th, Myung posted on his social media service (SNS), stating, "Kang Hye-kyung said 'Park Hyung-joon came to Myung Tae-gyun asking for help'? I have never met or seen Mayor Park Hyung-joon."

He continued, "There is no call, text, KakaoTalk, or saved phone number of Mayor Park Hyung-joon on my Golden Phone. How could such a thing happen? How many times is this? I have told the prosecution multiple times," denying any acquaintance with Mayor Park.

Kang Hye-kyung, who worked at a public opinion research company operated by Myung, claimed in a pre-recorded interview on a radio broadcast the previous day, "As far as I remember, around late November or early December 2020, Mayor Park came to see Myung Tae-gyun and asked for help, so we started the Park Hyung-joon public opinion survey."

Park's camp responded to Kang's remarks by stating, "This is a 100% fabricated lie and a political conspiracy to smear us," and added, "We plan to take all legal civil and criminal actions immediately."
