Lee Jae-Myung Assailant was Member of a Conservative Party Four Years Ago and is Currently Member of the Democratic Party
It will be interesting to see what more comes out about the motivations for the stabbing of Lee Jae-myung. Was this guy really a right wing wacko posing as a Democratic Party member as many online are portraying him?:
The man apprehended for attacking Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung, a 67-year-old individual surnamed Kim, is taken to the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency. (Yonhap)
The real estate agent surnamed Kim who attacked Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung on Tuesday in Busan has been found to have been a member of the People Power Party (PPP) for several years before joining the Democratic Party 10 months ago.
Kim’s acquaintances have testified that he frequently joined the far-right “Taegeukgi rallies” and enjoyed watching political content on YouTube.
The police, in connection to the statements made by Kim’s acquaintances about his party membership, checked relevant materials with the cooperation of the PPP and the Democratic Party after obtaining a search warrant from the court on Wednesday.
Article 24 of the Political Parties Act stipulates that the roster of party members “shall not be subject to inspection, with the exception of the case where a court requests it in the interests of a judgment, and where an election management commission concerned wants to confirm a matter pertaining to a party member.” It also states that a writ issued by a judge is compulsory in the event of a criminal investigation.
According to officials from both the PPP and the Democratic Party, Kim was a member of the United Future Party, the predecessor of the PPP, and joined the Democratic Party in March 2023 and remained a member until recently.
A Democratic Party official stated that Kim was “known to be a local party member in Asan, South Chungcheong Province.”

to prove his loyalty to his new party, he agreed to participate in Lee scheme…..
Well played
The question now:
Will he get strangled and then hung, like Epstein, promised witness protection after a fake execution like Timothy McVeigh, or finished off by a bar owner who isn’t talking like Lee Harvey Oswald?
…and, say, where is that Lee Jae-myung fellow? His absense after a minor injury that had little blood is starting to get awkward.
Lee Jae-myung was released from the hospital and made the exact statement you would expect.
But none of that is news.
The real news is looking at his picture.
Good grief!
All I see is Frank’s sign with flashing neon and a train horn. I hope he has a good cardiologist or we are going to lose him. Another possibility is he is diabetic.¹
