Allegations of Poll Manipulation in 2022 Election

In connection with the 2022 presidential election, allegations have emerged that Myung-tae was involved in manipulating public opinion polls in exchange for Kim Young-sun’s nomination as a lawmaker. Kim Tae-yul, head of the Future Korea Research Institute, has come forward as a 'public whistleblower,' sparking concerns over suspicious donations related to past presidential and local elections. Recorded conversations between Myung-tae and Kim Young-sun revealed expressions of gratitude towards 'Madam' at her residence, which were interpreted as implying an exchange involving the nomination. Furthermore, evidence surfaced indicating that Myung-tae used inaccurate figures in the polls to gain political advantage, revealing a complicated network of relationships with other politicians. Such issues could imply serious allegations relating to political funding laws, hinting at possible violations and raising alarm. The complexity of the relationships among politicians, especially in light of the pressure faced by Kang Hye-kyung regarding poll-related expenses and Myung-tae's poor credit status affecting his card usage, underlines the gravity of the situation. Recent evidence pointing to manipulation of poll data adds another layer of scrutiny, particularly in understanding political tensions with figures like Mayor Hong Jun-pyo.
