In relation to the above report by this media outlet, the Democratic Party of Korea has stated the following: “The impeachments of former Presidents Park Geun-hye and Yoon Suk Yeol were carried out in accordance with constitutional procedures and decisions by the Constitutional Court, respectively, and the claim that the Republic of Korea has been communized is completely false. Furthermore, the May 18 Democratization Movement is a historical event recognized as a democratization movement based on the Republic of Korea’s official historical assessment and legal rulings. Claims that the party colluded with North Korea to commit election fraud or manipulated election results through electronic counting machines are merely conspiratorial and false allegations, not confirmed by any official data or investigation results. Additionally, the claim that the Democratic Party of Korea has seized control of the legislative, judicial, and executive branches, the National Election Commission, and the media is a unilateral assertion lacking any objective basis.”
