Jeon Yeo-ok "More people supporting China than Korea in next click cheer... Must clarify position"

Posting on Own Blog: "'Gaeddal' Playing Comments 24 Hours"

Jeon Yeo-ok, former Saenuri Party (predecessor of the People Power Party) lawmaker, criticized the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games men's soccer quarterfinal 'click cheering' on the portal site Daum, saying, "Daum is clearly a Korean portal site, but I don't understand how there are more people cheering for China than Korea in the Korea-China match."

She added, "The number of people cheering for China has surpassed those cheering for Korea. Seeing the stark figures gives me chills. Daum must clearly state its position."

On the 2nd, Jeon posted on her blog, "Something really strange happened yesterday. On the portal 'Daum,' about 1.2 million people cheered for China, while fewer than 1 million cheered for Korea."

According to the screenshot she posted, as of 9 p.m. the previous day, Daum's click cheering showed 1,183,460 cheers for China, accounting for 56%, and 916,187 cheers for Korea, accounting for 44%. At the same time, Naver's click cheering recorded 260,462 cheers for China and 3,226,705 cheers for Korea, showing an overwhelmingly higher proportion of support for Korea.

In response, Jeon sarcastically said, "At the same time, Naver had 260,000 cheers for China and 3.23 million for Korea. No matter how much Daum leans left, I really don't understand this situation."

She further claimed, "China has intervened in manipulating Korean public opinion, or the 'Gaeddal' (hardcore supporters of Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party) are continuously playing 'jjitjiji' comment games 24/7."

She added, "It's only a matter of time before Naver is also taken over by them. This incident should be a turning point to establish definite countermeasures. Next year is the general election. We cannot let Daum and Naver become their frenzied playgrounds."

Meanwhile, accountant Kim Kyung-yul also posted the Daum comment situation on Facebook with hashtags such as '#How_can_this_be_explained?' and '#Daum_RealTime_Situation(Daum)'.
