‘Doubtful death’ Kwon Seong-dong’s remarks, “Isn’t it the effect of magical thinking?”
On the offensive of ‘low-income remarks’, “The media is distorted… If the party leadership becomes a leader, we communicate directly with the people”
Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung said on the 30th, “What does this have to do with Lee Jae-myung,” regarding a witness who was being investigated for alleged misappropriation of a corporate card by his wife Kim Hye-kyung on the 30th.
Candidate Lee said at a talk concert with party members and supporters at the Green City Experience Center in Gangneung on the same day, saying, “Isn’t it because we’ve become a ‘shaman’s country’ and do things that have nothing to do with a specific person?”
Candidate Lee also said, “Some people who have nothing to do with (me) died saying, ‘The press and the prosecution are trying to kill me’ because they might not withstand the coercive investigation by the prosecution and the police.”
Candidate Lee’s remarks are interpreted as arguing that he has nothing to do with the death of people related to his suspicions, such as the death of Yu Yuhan-ki, former head of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation’s development project division, during the Daejang-dong development investigation. .
In particular, as the Democratic Party supporters have raised suspicions that shamans are influencing the decision-making of President Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife since the presidential election, it is also read as a remark aimed at this.
After the death of a referee related to Kim’s corporate card allegations, Lee continued to ask the media for his position on the matter, but he refrained from commenting at all.
Candidate Lee also strongly criticized Kwon Seong-dong, acting leader of the People’s Power Party and floor leader Kwon Seong-dong, who said to him, “Every suspicion (related to Lee) leads to a mysterious death.”
Candidate Lee pointed out, “I wonder how he might come up with such an idea, but I wonder if he was influenced by an undesirable, malignant magical thought.”
Candidate Lee seemed to think that his remarks referring to ‘shaman’ might be problematic. “As a popular religion, I respect shamanism.” It should not be abused, such as giving
It seems that he was concerned regarding the possibility that his comments would be delivered critically through media reports and negative public opinion would spread.
In this context, Candidate Lee emphasized that the criticism of his ‘low-income group’s remarks’ the previous day was also influenced by inadequate media coverage.
Candidate Lee said in a YouTube live broadcast the day before, “There are many supporters of the people’s power in the low-educated and low-income class.”
Then, some criticized it as ‘an unfounded sense of choice to teach the uneducated’, and the party’s contenders Park Yong-jin and Kang Hoon-sik also criticized it.
Candidate Lee emphasized at the talk concert, “I maliciously distort (my remarks) so that I do not convey the good, exaggerate when I convey the bad, and report it as if it were true.”
“We will definitely create a communication structure that narrows the distance between the party and the people, or between the party and party members, or eliminates the distance at all,” he said.
Candidate Lee also added, “I will create a party that wins and a strong opposition party, and a party that communicates with the people, so that I can clearly show the people what the Democratic Party is trying to do.”
