Translated using deepSeek, post-edited for grammar:
Tonight (30th) at 9 PM, Newstapa [reveals] the truth behind an illegal comment manipulation team operating in support of Kim Moon-soo, the People Power Party candidate, in a special live broadcast. Initially, we assumed this was merely a case of comment manipulation and began our investigation accordingly. However, upon uncovering the full picture, we found the issue to be far more serious—this was not just about comments.
Recently, we discovered a recruitment notice for a “comment team” at an organization called “Lee-Park School,” which promotes itself as a history education group. Our reporters applied undercover and successfully infiltrated the group. As its name suggests, “Lee-Park School” teaches a version of history that glorifies former presidents Syngman Rhee (Lee Seung-man) and Park Chung-hee. While it outwardly presents itself as a history education platform, it secretly operates a comment brigade known as the “JaSonGun” (short for “Jayu Son-garak Gun-dae,” meaning “Freedom Finger Army Saving the Nation Through Comments”).
The “JaSonGun” team has been systematically promoting Kim Moon-soo while smearing opposing candidates Lee Jae-myung and Lee Jun-seok. They prepared pre-written derogatory comments and usernames in advance. At designated times, a leader, referred to as a “team captain,” would post comments, after which members would swarm in to upvote them, ensuring they reached “best comment” status. Their methods were surprisingly well-organized.
However, this was not the end of the story. On the morning of the 27th, Rep. Cho Jung-hun of the People Power Party and a parents’ group held a National Assembly press conference criticizing Lee Jae-myung’s education-related pledges. Won Yoo-chul, the party’s floor leader, also attended and delivered speeches. But, out of the 11 parents’ group members present, five were not actual parents—they were members of ‘JaSonGun.’ Shockingly, they even disguised an unmarried Newstapa reporter as a “parent” and brought them to the event. This staged press conference was uncritically reported by multiple media outlets, including TV Chosun, without any verification.
What’s more alarming is that the Yoon Suk-yeol administration’s Ministry of Education was effectively supporting Lee-Park School, the organization behind the comment manipulation team.
The Yoon Suk-yeol administration has been operating a program called “Neulbom School,” which combines after-school and childcare programs. The government planned to expand it to all elementary school grades nationwide next year. However, Newstapa’s investigation has confirmed that completing Lee-Park School’s training program qualifies participants to receive Neulbom School instructor certification. While such certification should require substantial training as it’s meant for student education, a Newstapa reporter was able to obtain the certification in just one day.
According to Mr. Son, the head of Lee-Park School, their graduates are currently working as instructors in elementary schools across the country. This appears to be an attempt to indoctrinate elementary school students with a distorted historical perspective that glorifies Syngman Rhee and Park Chung-hee while denying the May 18 Democratization Movement. Given the gravity of these findings, an immediate investigation is needed to determine whether this was planned at the level of the Yoon administration itself.
