The Democratic Party’s National Verification Legal Support Group (Chairman Yang Bu-nam) revealed this in a press release on the followingnoon of the day, saying, “The accused (Rep. Park) has continuously produced and distributed false information accusing Lee and others in a short period of time, and the 20th presidential election “The motive for the crime and the purpose of the defeat were recognized as the false facts were announced at an imminent time without any explanatory material.”

Park.
Previously, Rep. Park raised suspicions that Lee was ‘preferentially hospitalized’ without a personnel order at the Armed Forces Capital Hospital in Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, in 2014 while Lee was serving, and through his social network service (SNS), “There are also 6 soldiers with symptoms of shelling on Yeonpyeong Island. I was in a private room, but because of a ligament rupture in Lee Dong-ho, I had a special room for 3 months??” he posted.
In response, the Democratic Party said in the complaint letter, “The photo posted by the accused (Rep. Park) on Facebook is clearly a break room, not a special room in the Armed Forces Capital Integrated Hospital.” By doing so, the false information was made public, leading to the misconception that the son of candidate Lee was hospitalized with preferential treatment.”
The Democratic Party’s election task force task force held a press conference on the followingnoon of the same day and released Mr. Lee’s 2014 military service personnel record and a copy of his medical record.

Rep. Kim Seung-won, head of the current issue response task force, said, “A suspicion raised on inaccurate grounds is not a suspicion, but a criminal act in itself.” We are distributing it in an image,” he criticized.
He continued, “There are suspicions that there is a non-election organization that indiscriminately spreads fake news or such in the name of ‘Again SNS Headquarters’ by those who received a letter of appointment (from the official organization of the People’s Power). I think we should grab the evidence and stop responding.”
When asked regarding Lee’s exact hospitalization period, he said, “It’s okay to say that it’s personal data.” Regarding how Lee, who served in Jinju, Gyeongnam, was admitted to the Armed Forces Capital Hospital, he replied, “I had surgery in Seongnam and went to a nearby capital hospital.”
Meanwhile, in a statement immediately following the press conference of the current issue response task force, Park Soo-young’s office said, “Rep. Park Soo-young’s office has consistently raised the issue of being admitted to the Seongnam Armed Forces Capital Hospital without a personnel order as preferential admission.” “The evidence presented by the Lee Jae-myung camp today. Nowhere is there a personnel order stating that Lee’s eldest son was hospitalized at the Armed Forces Capital Hospital. If this candidate asks A, answer A.”
