South Korea's National Assembly Science, ICT and Communications Committee holds fierce debate over election fraud and martial law

On the 6th, during a question and answer session on the current situation at the Science, Information, Broadcasting and Communications Committee of the National Assembly of Korea, ruling and opposition party lawmakers clashed fiercely over the claims of election fraud and the declaration of martial law on December 3rd. Are the opposition parties part of the ruling party's supporters?
The ruling party denied the claims of election fraud raised by some as "groundless news," and harshly criticized the Central Election Commission for its flaws in election management and hiring issues.
Rep. Kim Hyun, a secretary-general for the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea, attended the meeting with YouTube's parent company, Google.
Google has issued guidelines to sanction violent content on YouTubers who make extreme claims about election fraud and the party's chairman Lee Jae-myung.
Meanwhile, Kim Jang-gyeom, a lawmaker from the ruling People Power Party, called on Kim Youngbin, secretary-general of the National Election Commission, to take measures based on the ruling.
"The widespread use of family privileges and incomplete voting (storing ballots temporarily in a separate box) has given rise to conspiracy theories about election fraud," he said, calling it a hotbed of conspiracy theories.
Lawmakers from both the ruling and opposition parties were also outraged at the use of language calling President Yoon Seok-yeol a "mastermind of the rebellion" and a "leader of the rebellion."
A fierce battle ensued. Rep. Lee Jung-hong of the Democratic Party of Korea said to Korea Communications Commission Chairman Lee Jin-sook, "It has already been included in the prosecution's indictment and will be investigated by the Constitutional Court.
"Although the term 'leader of the civil war' is repeated in all the articles covered, Chairman Lee continues to defend Yoon Seok-yeol," he said.
In response, People Power Party lawmaker Park Jeong-hoon said, "It is unreasonable to conclude that the Democratic Party is the mastermind of the rebellion.
I absolutely cannot agree with that," and Chairman Lee responded, "I agree. If President Yoon is called the leader of a civil war, then Lee Jae Myung should also be called a person who spreads false facts and sends illegal money to North Korea.
"You can call it that," he responded. In response to this statement, the opposition lawmakers immediately protested, causing a moment of uproar in the hall. Rep. Choi Min-hee of the Democratic Party tried to stop the lawmakers from arguing,
"(President Yoon) is the mastermind of a civil war," she said, and Park again claimed it was "corruption within the Democratic Party (if I do it, it's romance, if someone else does it, it's adultery)."
The ruling and opposition parties also clashed over the impeachment of Chairman Lee and the two-person system of the Korea Communications Commission.
"After Chairman Lee was impeached in the National Assembly, he was receiving a monthly salary of more than 13 million won," said Lee Jeong-heon, a member of the Democratic Party.
"When I was the manager of MBC, I had a principle of 'no work, no wages' for workers who participated in the strike. If they are not working during the impeachment proceedings, I will not be able to return their wages under the same principle," he said.
In response, Rep. Park Choong-kwon of the People Power Party said, "Chairman Lee is the symbolic victim of the impeachment, which he is innocent of," and "Who is the Democratic Party that filed the impeachment?
Rep. Choi Su-jin also said, "The illegal impeachment of the chairman of the Korea Communications Commission, the witch-hunt style personnel hearings, the indiscriminate budget cuts, and the humiliating controversy are all now.
It should be stopped immediately," he said. Chairman Lee also told the opposition, "Those who initiated the impeachment motion should also take responsibility if the impeachment motion is later dismissed or rejected."
Recently, the ruling and opposition parties also confirmed their differences of opinion regarding Democratic Party Chairman Lee's "K-Nvidia" remarks.
Rep. Park Min-Gyu of the Democratic Party of Korea said, "The conflict between the U.S. and China and the rise of technological hegemony are
In the midst of intensifying global competition, the nation needs to work like an entrepreneur," he said, defending Lee.
"How can they create K-Nvidia and distribute shares to the public while passing the 'No Dat Act' five years ago?" he said, pointing out that this is "typical pre-election populism."
