She played a significant role in last month's grand debate by presenting numerous pieces of evidence, such as these, which silenced the remarks of Lee Jun-seok, leader of the New Reform Party.

The grand debate on election fraud must have significantly changed things before and after. How much of that change does she feel? On the afternoon of the 16th, we knocked on the door of 'Hwanggeumryul Law Firm' in Seocho-dong, Seoul, where lawyer Park Ju-hyun serves as the representative.

Received the debate invitation three days before the live broadcast

“It’s certain that many people have become interested in election fraud due to this grand debate. However, I still feel that the media is diverting the issue by discussing ‘President Yoon's insulation’ or other political discourse, instead of asking direct questions about election fraud.”

Lawyer Park expressed disappointment that the world hadn't turned upside down as much as she had expected. This isn't an isolated incident. Lawyer Park confessed that over the past six years of fighting against election fraud, she has experienced immense frustration not only from the media's indifference but also from how it significantly diminishes the public's desire to address election fraud.

As lawyer Park said, there are indeed aspects that leave something to be desired. However, it is also true that this grand debate has made a significant contribution in widely publicizing election fraud. The cumulative viewership of over 6 million viewers attests to this.

Discussions about holding a debate on election fraud began to pick up steam about three to four weeks ago. At the time, many people insisted that Park Ju-hyun should participate, but she herself had not received a direct invitation.

Then, after the TV Chosun broadcast was canceled, PD Lee Young-don from PenNMike contacted her. He asked her to participate as a member of the debate panel for a broadcast on ‘PenNMike’. This was just three days before the live broadcast. Although she agreed, the time was tight, and the anxiety grew as the participants were continuously changed until the day before the broadcast.

The more this happened, the more she felt she couldn't miss this opportunity. After finishing the rehearsal on the afternoon of the 26th, she immediately returned to her office to quietly prepare for the debate. The placards we saw in the broadcast on the 27th were made the day before the live broadcast.

“In fact, I had felt that I needed to meet with Representative Lee Jun-seok once regarding the issue of election fraud, and I thought it would be fine to meet him through a grand debate if we were to meet anyway. So, I thought I had to clearly inform people about election fraud through this opportunity.”

Initially, she had thought of her role as merely an assistant to Representative Jeon Han-gil. However, as the debate format proceeded in a question-and-answer style, a one-on-one dynamic with Representative Lee Jun-seok emerged, allowing her to strongly advocate for her stance on election fraud.

Park Ju-hyun, the Prepared Debater for Investigating Election Fraud

“If I had had a little more time to prepare, I have no doubt that I could have ‘demolished’ it more perfectly.”

Although lawyer Park Ju-hyun states she lacked sufficient practical debate preparation, she was, in fact, a prepared debater. She had persuaded countless people through YouTube, lectures, seminars, and face-to-face meetings, and as a result, many came to believe in election fraud. And finally, the Grand Debate on Election Fraud, the pinnacle of publicizing and educating about election fraud, took place.

In truth, she had to give up many things while engaging in activities to investigate election fraud. “Everything is good, but Park Ju-hyun talking about election fraud is the problem,” she heard from some. She even received offers of high positions if she stopped talking about election fraud.

“However, the most important issue for me was eradicating election fraud. I felt it would be too agonizing to cover up this matter, which I consider most important, for personal gain, money, or status. I wouldn't have been able to look my children in the eye. It was a promise to myself to leave them a better future.”

When she first took on an election fraud lawsuit, she thought it would be over quickly because the evidence was so clear. She had even settled more difficult lawsuits within six months. So, she even told her family that it would be over soon. However, to her surprise, as the Supreme Court justices prolonged the election lawsuits and continued to cover up the election fraud issue, this activity has now entered its sixth year.

She said, “It’s regrettable and sad that I’ve been handling a lawsuit that should have ended quickly for six years, but on the other hand, during this prolonged period, many citizens have learned about election fraud, Mr. Jeon Han-gil has jumped in, former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn had also stepped in, and now Trump is with us too.” She added, “What has been revealed has been revealed, and now the only remaining issue is whether to eradicate election fraud or not.”

Another reason she cannot give up investigating election fraud is that she has seen many examples of how the decisions of one or two individuals can bring about significant change.

“Last year, Park Jun-young of the University of Freedom and Yonsei University students approached me, wanting to learn about election fraud. I felt their sincerity. However, by that time, a lot of evidence for election fraud had already been secured, so I advised that a statement on the current situation related to impeachment and election fraud was more needed.”

Fortunately, they faithfully followed lawyer Park's advice. Following the statement from the University of Freedom, university students across the country rose up, calling for opposition to impeachment and investigation of election fraud. Subsequently, numerous organizations took to the streets and squares, demanding the eradication of the ‘Yoon Again’ movement and election fraud.

“I hope that through this Grand Debate on Election Fraud, many citizens will spread awareness that such a serious invasion of sovereignty exists in our country through concerts, rallies, and lectures.”

She also stated, “The progress in investigating election fraud has been slow due to the Democratic Party of Korea’s public opinion manipulation and media control, and the actions of the People Power Party, akin to ‘Antichupados’,” adding, “However, through this debate, we have made significant progress in understanding its reality, to the point where even left-leaning individuals are discussing election fraud.” Now, the only thing left is action.

Wants to be a person who helps Korea rather than the protagonist of Korea

“Currently, U.S. President Donald Trump is exposing election fraud, and the issue of election fraud is heating up globally. Korea must also move in line with this spirit of the times. If the people awaken and join the movement to eradicate election fraud in the U.S., we can break the election fraud cartel that has seized control of Korea.”

To this end, she is preparing the second volume of her book, ‘Stop the Still,’ which investigates election fraud, and has expressed her determination to visit U.S. media outlets, speakers, the Trump administration, Congress, and organizations this month to discuss various issues in Korea.

“I am originally the type suited for a supporting role rather than a leading one. My role is to do my best in my own position to make Korea a good country to live in, a country where justice prevails, and a country where our children can live happily, rather than becoming the protagonist of Korea.”

Finally, she expressed confidence, saying, “It may seem like a fight of an egg against a rock, but I believe that ‘truth,’ being harder than anything else, can break the gigantic rock of falsehood. The rock of falsehood, election fraud, will soon be shattered, and the forces of deception surrounding Korea will also be purged.”

She also stated, “I hope all matters will be settled within this year, and that we can have an interview celebrating the complete eradication of election fraud around the second half of the year.”

We hope that Hankookilbo can also conduct a joyous interview within this year. Thank you, lawyer Park Ju-hyun, for agreeing to this interview.
