What is the rumor that the Korean election is approaching?

South Korea has been in chaos since the "pro-government" incident. South Korea's Chosun Ilbo 18 reported that South Korea's Attorney General Kim Soo Nam recently said that the presidential election is just around the corner, but due to insufficient preparation time, excessive competition cannot be ruled out, so those who make and maliciously spread false news must be severely punished. The so-called fake news means that individuals or groups transmit false information in the form of news reports for their own economic interests. Jin Xiunan said that these fake news disguised as official news reports have created social contradictions in South Korea, especially in cyberspace.

According to the statistics of South Korean prosecutors, only one week after the announcement of the presidential election, 19 people have been put on file for investigation on suspicion of smearing the presidential candidate, while during the last presidential election, only 12 people were put on file for investigation for similar reasons.

KBS TV 18 said: "The fake news in Korea is unbearable." . Just as the results of Park Geun-hye's impeachment case were about to be announced, many Koreans received text messages such as "Li Zhen Mei, acting president of the Korean Constitutional Court, is married to party member, a United Progressive Party (South Korea's ultra-left party)" and "polls show that 80% of Koreans want the Constitutional Court to dismiss the impeachment case". These are all false news. As South Korea's general election approaches, similar false news may show a spurt of growth, and the judicial department is prepared to give a key blow.

According to the report of "Jingxiang News" in South Korea on June 5438+09, the report of "Economic Loss of Fake News" released by Modern Economic Research Institute on the same day showed that the economic loss caused by fake news in South Korea reached 30 trillion won every year-equivalent to 1.9% of Korea's GDP in 20 15 years, of which the loss of enterprises and parties was 22.7 trillion won and the social loss was 7. The losses caused by false news in South Korea are spreading, and the presidential election in May is approaching, and all kinds of discrediting behaviors that damage reputation are intensifying. South Korea's Central Election Commission issued an announcement to delete 4,662 reports that spread gossip and slander candidates without any basis. According to the "20 16 White Paper on Internet Public Opinion" issued by the Korea Public Opinion Promotion Committee, there are more than 30,000 pieces of news in Korean media, of which 1% is false news.
