GaeGukBon Honam Headquarters released a white paper documenting its activities from March 2021 to March 2022, approximately one year. This white paper details GaeGukBon's main activities and is regarded as evidence that GaeGukBon Honam virtually spearheaded the execution of GaeGukBon's overall activities.
At an event in Cheongju on July 4, 2021, GaeGukBon showed biased support for a specific candidate by only cheering for candidate Choo Mi-ae. At the time, Lee Jong-won, the representative, and Baekdu, the General Headquarters Manager, openly declared GaeGukBon to be candidate Choo Mi-ae's unofficial campaign, explicitly prohibiting the mention of candidate Lee Jae-myung's name.
At the Busan joint rally on October 2, 2021, Lee Jong-won, head of GaeGukBon, hurled unspeakable insults at Cheon Kyung-bae, Secretary to Choo Mi-ae's general staff. Lee Jong-won expressed dissatisfaction when members cheered for both candidates Choo Mi-ae and Lee Jae-myung, leading to a severe argument in a public place with many people.
After Lee Jong-won cursed and even criticized Baekdu, the General Headquarters Manager and an internal staff member, at the Busan and Incheon events, internal conflict within GaeGukBon intensified. These incidents effectively led GaeGukBon down the path of division. Members who genuinely supported candidate Choo Mi-ae separated from the original GaeGukBon, forming an independent organization called 'Jjinchu' (True Choo Mi-ae Supporters) and began separate activities.
