Sisa Tapa's Lee Jong-won Admits to Opinion Poll Manipulation Allegations in Democratic Party Convention

Sisa Tapa's Lee Jong-won confessed to personally conceiving and carrying out the manipulation of opinion polls for the Democratic Party's national convention. Lee admitted it was his own idea in response to a question from reporter Kang Jin-goo, initially using a connection to candidate Kim Min-seok as an excuse before later admitting his own conspiracy.

The Democratic Party plans to begin legal review regarding the manipulation of opinion polls for the national convention. Candidate Kim Min-seok announced that the party would conduct a legal review of the actions of some YouTubers, which are expected to constitute obstruction of business through deception, such as opinion poll manipulation, and violations of the Political Parties Act. New Tam Sa plans to submit 260,000 pieces of secured data to investigative agencies in connection with this matter.

New Tam Sa identified Sisa Tapa as the perpetrator of this opinion poll manipulation, showing its intention to take legal action. New Tam Sa stated that it had submitted relevant materials to the police and completed its statements, citing past cases of punishment against Jeon Kwang-hoon.

A video of the 'Poll Manipulation Song' submitted by a viewer has been released. This song satirizes the issue of opinion poll distortion and criticizes the seriousness of opinion poll manipulation through its lyrics.

Lee Jong-won had previously claimed that he got the idea for the opinion poll from the 'Jam Village' bulletin board. However, after New Tam Sa pointed out contradictions, Lee changed his statement to, 'Those are all my ideas.'

New Tam Sa pointed out the discrepancy between the timing of Lee Jong-won's remarks about Jam Village and the timing of the Jam Village posts. In response, Lee Jong-won tried to avoid the situation by claiming that his remarks were 'a strategy to fish New Tam Sa.' Lee said, 'I was fishing.'

Evidence of Lee Jong-won's attempt to overturn opinion poll results has been revealed. Lee stated that if candidate Jung Cheong-rae won the national opinion poll by 8-10%, a reversal would be possible. Additionally, voice evidence was secured where he mentioned that he 'staked his life' on the opinion polls.

Lee Jong-won stated that one response in an opinion poll has the value of 80 votes. This involves using weighting for survey respondents, which is a highly unfair survey practice. This statement was presented as evidence to prove intent for obstruction of business and crime through deception.

Contrary to claims of an accidental crime, evidence was found that Lee Jong-won had instructed in advance to disable carrier blocking. This prepared for obstruction of business and a crime through deception and was presented as crucial evidence of intent. Content confirming instructions to disable carrier blocking to receive phone surveys the day before the broadcast was identified.

Lee Jong-won instructed viewers to respond as residents of specific regions, such as Gyeongbuk or Chungcheong, if they received a call for an opinion poll. He also encouraged them to lie about their age, pretending to be in their 20s or 30s. This manipulation of opinion poll samples through falsehoods was revealed, and immediately after these remarks, viewers posted authentication messages confirming they followed the instructions.

Lee Jong-won encouraged respondents to choose other regions if the samples for Seoul or Gyeonggi areas were full. He claimed that responses different from one's actual residential area were needed for samples to be collected.

Lee Jong-won ordered that viewers who mentioned fraudulent elections during the broadcast be blocked. He instructed his manager to completely suppress critical opinions.

Lee Jong-won publicly stated that he does not wish for President Lee Jae-myung's re-election. He mentioned a sense of betrayal regarding Lee Jae-myung's politics and expressed regret over his past as a supporter of Lee.

Lee Jong-won argued that President Lee Jae-myung should be guided down the right path, while at the same time labeling his supporters as 'New Lee Jae-myung' and attacking them as forces trying to destroy the Democratic Party. This appears to be a strategy to intentionally divide the president and his supporters. Lee stated that he is enduring to elect candidate Jung Cheong-rae, guide President Lee Jae-myung down the right path with the joy that party members have won, and filter out 'New Lee Jae-myung industrial waste' from the Democratic Party.
