Chairman Cho Kyu-yeon, who was elected as the chairman of the May 18 injured public law organization in June.

Members of the May 18 Injured People's Association put up a banner criticizing Chairman Cho Kyu-yeon.

As a result of the YTN report, Chairman Cho Kyu-yeon falsely stated his academic background and revealed his criminal record several times along with police investigations due to illegal debt collection and assault.

The members claimed that Chairman Cho forgot his job and routinely used abusive language against the members.

At the same time, Chairman Cho said that he had tarnished the group's reputation with 19 criminal records, and that he should clarify his criminal history.

In particular, he explained that he violated the articles of association, "You cannot visit members for campaigns or gather in certain places except during the campaign period," in the name of unifying candidates at the time of election.

[Lee Choong-young / May 18 Injured Member: In violation of the articles of association, 93 delegates were gathered for the competition. There is a fact that I wrote a false statement on my resume and self-introduction letter. They are fighting for invalidity of the election with three facts.
