Democratic Party of Korea strengthens security against terrorist threats against presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung... ”Information received about the influx of rifles with a 2km range” = South Korea

The Democratic Party of Korea has strengthened security for presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung during the election campaign, citing a series of reports of terrorist threats against him.
Lee was stabbed in the neck in Busan, and as the presidential election is being held following the declaration of martial law and the impeachment of former President Yoon Seok-yeol, the party and its supporters are harboring strong scrutiny over Lee.
On the 13th, Jin Sung-Jun, policy director of the Democratic Party's Central Election Strategy Committee, said on a CBS radio program, "It's a monster sniper with a range of up to 2 kilometers.
We have even received information that rifles have been smuggled in. They are sniper rifles used by professional assassins," he said. In response to a question about whether the rifles were being smuggled in to target candidate Lee, Chief Jin said, "I don't think that's the case.
"Is there any other reason for the rifles to be smuggled in at this time?" the Democratic Party of Korea said on the 3rd, "We have received a series of reports that there are plots to attack candidate Lee."
In response, candidate Lee reduced interpersonal contact at the scene and wore a bulletproof vest under his campaign jacket at the presidential election ceremony held at Gwanghwamun on the 12th.
On the 10th, the Democratic Party of Korea launched a counter-terrorism task force (TF) for candidate Lee, headed by Kim Min-Seok, permanent joint election countermeasures committee chairman.
On the same day, National Intelligence Service former member Park Seong-won posted on Kim Oh-joon's YouTube channel
"The candidate changed from his sword-proof suit to a bulletproof suit, and we prepared a suit that can protect against both bullets and swords," he said. The Democratic Party of Korea has asked the government to strengthen security for candidate Lee, while also raising concerns about terrorism threats.
The government is analyzing the information provided about the threat from various angles and is taking measures to strengthen security. It is controlling the gathering of people near the platform of candidate Lee's campaign, and candidate Lee is forbidden from direct contact such as handshakes or hugs.
At a meeting of the National Defense and Security Review Committee held at the party headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, former deputy chief of the presidential guard service Choi Yun-ho (U-KNOW) said, "In accordance with the Presidential Guard Law, we will not provide security.
"We need to use the high-performance security equipment that the government possesses to provide more intensive security."
