The Democratic Party of Korea on June 17 urged the media to refrain from using exaggerated terms related to factional conflicts, particularly regarding the anti-Cheong (anti-Jung Cheong-rae) and anti-Myeong (anti-Lee Jae-myung) factions, as the party prepares for its upcoming convention. The party also announced plans to take strong action against fake news.
Kang Jun-hyun, the party's chief spokesperson, spoke to reporters after a Supreme Council meeting, stating, "We have united to establish the Lee Jae-myung government through the processes of martial law and impeachment. While this unity remains, the media is creating exaggerated frames. I hope terms like anti-Cheong and anti-Myeong will be avoided."
He emphasized that there are no internal factional conflicts, urging the media to refrain from using exaggerated language as the convention approaches.
Kang reiterated his call for restraint regarding the exaggerated expressions used by some media outlets and warned that the party would respond strongly to fake news. "We hope to avoid exaggerated tones as we approach the convention. Naturally, we will take strong action against fake news after verifying its accuracy," he added. "We will do our best to ensure that this convention serves as a platform for unity and renewal."
