The Democratic Party of Korea on the 7th called for a thorough investigation into allegations that the right-wing group "Reeback School" manipulated online public opinion and conducted education promoting far-right ideologies. They plan to address this in an urgent inquiry session in the National Assembly on the 11th.

Roh Jong-myon, a spokesperson, noted in a written briefing that day, "We must unequivocally uncover how Reeback School executed widespread public opinion manipulation and the specifics of their far-right indoctrination efforts on children, as well as who is behind them," adding that a fair investigation to fully ascertain the truth is essential.

In addition, Roh stated, "Numerous promotional materials on 'electoral fraud conspiracies' were found in the Reeback School office, and it has been reported that 11 instructors under the 'Korea Neulbom Education Association,' founded by Sohn Hyo-sook, the head of Reeback School, have been conducting lectures in educational settings," expressing concerns about what other undiscovered activities might exist.

Furthermore, Roh declared, "We will not stand idly by any attempts to disrupt our society with public opinion manipulation and contaminate the sacred educational environment with far-right indoctrination, and we will hold those responsible to account."

The Democratic Party plans to proceed with an urgent inquiry targeting Lee Ju-ho, Minister of Education, at the level of the Education Committee in the National Assembly on the 11th. Previously, the Democratic Party launched the "Reeback School Manipulated Comment Rebellion and Far-Right Ideology Education Investigation Committee" to investigate Reeback School.
