The quick response team of the Democratic Party of Korea held a press conference at the party headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, that morning, stating, "We will submit a complaint today against Son, the representative of Rebox School, for violating the law on the prohibition of similar organizations in public elections."

The day before, a media outlet reported that Rebox School, led by Son, created and operated 'Jasongun' to manipulate comments.

Rep. Kang Deuk-gu, who leads the quick response team, stated, "According to a media report, the far-right organization operates a comment manipulation team and has been suspected of favoring participating members in the certification process," and added, "Thorough verification and investigation are required."

The quick response team noted, "It has been revealed that the forces that justified acts of insurrection with the nonsensical excuse of a fraudulent election are deeply involved in manipulating public opinion through organized comment activities."

They continued, "Through yesterday's report, we learned that a far-right group is committing an organized public opinion manipulation incident through comment posting," and added, "This time, we must bring down an assertive reprimand together with the people."

They claimed that the organization has a close connection to the Yoon Suk-yeol administration and urged the People Power Party to clarify whether there is any relationship with the group.

The quick response team stated, "Son, who leads Rebox School, casually mentioned that he has a close relationship with candidate Kim Moon-soo, and there are reports that former National Intelligence Service comment manipulation chief Lee is assisting Kim," adding, "Candidate Kim has an obligation to clarify the connection between Rebox School, Lee, and his campaign."

Deputy Head Park Kwan-cheon said, "According to reports, on the 27th, Rebox School disguised as a coalition of parents wanting proper education, orchestrated by People Power Party Rep. Jo Jeong-hun, conducted a criticism event against candidate Lee Jae-myung's education policy," stating that on that day, People Power Party floor leader Kweon Seong-dong and Rep. Kim Sang-hoon also attended to encourage them.

Spokesman Jo Seung-rae also stated during a briefing at a campaign rally in Cheongju that "it has been revealed that the far-right organization has provided systematic public opinion manipulation support to candidate Kim Moon-soo and the People Power Party," urging, "Candidate Kim Moon-soo and the People Power Party must clearly reveal what relationship they have with Rebox School's 'Jasongun.'"

He added, "The representative of 'Jasongun' stated that candidate Kim Moon-soo visited the office and is aware of what they do," asserting that "the possibility that candidate Kim and the People Power Party participated beyond mere assistance to design and plan is high."

이어 “자손군의 대표는 김문수 후보가 사무실을 방문했고, 하는 일도 알고 있다고 말했다”며 “김 후보와 국민의힘이 조력을 넘어 사주, 설계에 가담했을 가능성도 농후하다”고 주장했다.
