In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea refuted the ruling party, which regulated legal action against users who spread false information on social media as censorship, saying that the power of the people has also been calling for the eradication of fake news.

At the Supreme Council meeting, Supreme Council member Han Joon-ho asked what this is not censorship, citing media reports that the Saenuri Party, the predecessor of the people's power during the 2017 presidential election, decided to run a fake news reporting center.

At the time, the Saenuri Party said it decided to actively respond to false and distorted reports and rumors circulating through SNS, pointing out that this is why the term "Naero-South Korean party" is prevalent among the people.

As President Yoon Suk Yeol's dismissal approaches, fake news defending and inciting the civil war is rampant, Kim Byung-joo said, stressing that he will not ignore attempts to justify crimes and confuse society.
