Seoul Superintendent of Education's TV Debate Rebellion...Jung Geunsik's "Boycott".

Chung Geun-sik, a single liberal candidate, declared a boycott in protest of the invitation of only Cho Jeon-hyuk, a single conservative candidate among the candidates for the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, to a TV debate.

Candidate Chung said he would not attend the non-invitation debate held afterwards, protesting against Cho's exclusive meeting at KBS hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Election Commission on the afternoon of the 6th.

In order to be invited to a meeting hosted by the NEC, a poll conducted and published by media organizations requires an average approval rating of more than 5% or an election vote rate of more than 10% within the last four years.

The NEC explained that it invited only candidate Cho, who won 23.49% of the votes in the 2022 Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education superintendent election, because there were no media opinion polls released until the 2nd.

However, Chung's side said that the Korea Institute of Social Opinion, commissioned by CBS from the 30th of last month to the 1st of this month, won 29.7 percent, beating Cho, who was 23.3 percent.

The survey is a wireless 100% ARS survey of 804 men and women over the age of 18 living in Seoul, with a response rate of 5% and a sampling error of ±3.5 percentage points to a 95% confidence level.

Candidate Chung submitted a request for an injunction to the Seoul Central District Court today (6th) to stop broadcasting KBS Talk broadcasting exclusively by Candidate Cho and tomorrow (7th).
