On the morning of the 4th, Hankyung.com reported an interview with Park Young-sun and the supporters of the Seoul Mayor of the Democratic Party, and then changed the title once and deleted it within an hour. After the Democratic Party made a comment saying’it will take strong measures’ and Park made a public issue, Hankyung.com even deleted an interview with the supporters of the Mayor of People’s Power reported the day before.
Hankyung.com, along with the people’s power, over the course of 3 to 4 days, the democratic party’s by-election campaign site sketches were released sequentially with the subtitle’Site +’. At 7:50 on the morning of the 3rd, he interviewed the supporters of candidate Oh Se-hoon, “’Se-hun Oh’ in the second time,’The Democratic Party’ “Inspired 野 supporters” was reported, and at 7:20 on the morning of the 4th, Park Young-seon’s supporters of the Yoo Se-in site were interviewed, “It’s not wrong” and “Oh Se-hoon is already a failure”… Steadfast supporters” was published.
Hankyung.com reported again on the 4th with a different title on the same article at 9 o’clock, about 1 hour and 40 minutes after the second article was reported. The original article was deleted. The changed title is “‘The ruling party is disappointed, but the opposition party is the worst.’ At 10:30, an hour later, Hankyung.com deleted an article on the Democratic Party campaign. The details of the deletion were not disclosed.
The Democratic Party rebelled against the comment on the same day. It is an unfair report that only articles containing the public sentiment of the Democratic Party supporters were deleted. In a written briefing, the Democratic Party’s Public Affairs Office said, “The article related to Park Young-seon’s supporters was deleted in only an hour. It was an article that had no problem at all, but Hankyung.com side removed the reader’s protest as an excuse. “Is Hankyung.com an organization for the power of the people and candidate Oh Se-hoon?” The Democratic Party said, “We will take all possible measures against Hankyung.com’s unfair reporting behavior,” and said, “We will have to take responsibility for this.”
Candidate Young-seon Park also made a problem with deleting the article, saying, “There was an economic journal article saying that the atmosphere of the site was quite different from the public opinion poll, but it was deleted within an hour of being posted on the portal.” Candidate Park argued that “they mainly appeared as distorted articles, unclear facts, and specific conservative media dot-com articles.”
Then, Hankyung.com also deleted the interview article of the supporters of the people’s strength that it reported the day before. As of 3 pm on the 4th, the article of Hankyung.com was found to have been deleted from the portal and homepage. Hankyung.com said at 3pm at a similar time, “I heard inside the opposition supporters… With the title of’Better than No’ vs’Let’s Judgment’”, an article was published that summarized the comments from the supporters of the two parties covered by the two reports earlier.
An official from the Korean economy said in a call, “The original purpose of the plan was to publish articles in the same amount and subject of both candidate camp campaigns. Basically, the article I had to go out with went out at a time difference, and I had to put the two articles together. This official said, “Because the reader’s protest came from both support groups, there is no reason to publish only one article for that reason.”
The Democratic Party’s Central Election Countermeasure Committee and Candidate Park’s Public Affairs Office did not respond to an interview to ask the meaning of the’most powerful measure’.
