As this is being confirmed in opinion polls, negative campaigning has also intensified recently. Candidate Kim Min-seok's camp is currently raising the Shincheonji issue significantly. Let's listen to the related exchange. [Jeong Cheong-rae / Candidate for Democratic Party of Korea Leader (Yesterday): Party members are deeply hurt by questions like, 'Does supporting Jeong Cheong-rae make you a Shincheonji member?' and 'I have paid my dues as a full-time member and have been active in the party for years; are you asking if I am a Shincheonji member?'] [Kim Yong / Candidate for Supreme Council Member of the Democratic Party of Korea (SBS Radio 'Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show'): I believe there is sufficient possibility that this is not just a suspicion, but a fact.] Ahead of the 20th presidential election, when we were holding the primary, I was on the side of candidate Lee Nak-yeon. At the time, Candidate Lee Jae-myung's side was completely overwhelming us, but in the final Seoul primary, a result we never could have imagined came out. It was 6 to 4. At that time, various analyses suggested that a heretical religious group had infiltrated. However, I find credibility to that because when President Lee Jae-myung was the Governor of Gyeonggi Province, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he engaged in massive group activities with Shincheonji and even went all the way to Gapyeong to apprehend Lee Man-hee. To Shincheonji at that time, Governor Lee Jae-myung was practically a devil—a devil.] [Jeong Cheong-rae / Candidate for Democratic Party of Korea Leader (The day before yesterday, YouTube '2-Minute News'): A certain YouTuber claimed that Jeong Myeong-seok of JMS is my uncle. I intend to take legal action regarding that as well, but I have never met him. I have never even exchanged a phone call with him, and I don't know where he lives. (My father) has the character 'Hae' in his name. My uncle's name is Hae-cheol.] [And my youngest uncle, who lives elsewhere, is Haeguk, and his name starts with the character 'Hae'. My name starts with 'Rae', and I don't know about names starting with 'Myeong' or 'Seok'.] ◇ Anchor) Why bring up Jeong Myeong-seok out of the blue? All sorts of negative campaigning are running rampant. First, I think we need to talk about the controversy surrounding Shincheonji. Candidate Kim Min-seok's side is saying that they have evidence and will disclose it soon, right? ◆ Seong Chi-hun) However, I wish they would disclose it quickly. If the issue related to Shincheonji continues to be dragged out as the main issue of this August 17 National Convention, it will be bad for the party. Regardless of who wins, we must not receive an evaluation that after the Democratic Party National Convention, what remains is ultimately the Shincheonji issue following the supplementary investigation authority. However, since Candidate Kim Min-seok stated that he has evidence and grounds, it is reasonable to speculate that organized movements within a religious group related to Shincheonji have been detected. When Candidate Kim Min-seok eventually spoke about the matter, he told those in command and those under him to stop their actions. He told them not to move. Since they have been detected, he likely sent a warning message stating that they must not actually carry out their planned organized intervention. If Shincheonji had systematically infiltrated the party to cast votes for a specific candidate or faction, he was sending a warning message to stop. Because Candidate Kim Min-seok said it would be "soon," I expect he will disclose it within a few days. When it was revealed, we detected that Shincheonji was attempting to enter the Democratic Party's national convention based on these grounds, and to prevent this by issuing a prior warning...
