At a press conference held at the Zenger Room of the National Press Club in
Washington, D.C., USA at 11:00 a.m. (local time) on June 26, 2025, the International
Election Monitoring Team (IEMT) claimed that “there was systematic and widespread
fraud in the South Korean presidential election held on June 3, 2025,” and called for
an international investigation and a re-election.
This press conference was attended by five former U.S. foreign policy, intelligence,
and security experts, and was jointly attended by former National Assembly member
Min Kyung-wook (former Blue House spokesperson) and attorney Park Joo-hyun
(representative for the early presidential election invalidation lawsuit) as representatives
of Korea. In particular, former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn expressed his
gratitude for the international community’s interest in the reality of the
South Korean election through a video call that was part of the press conference.
The press conference was broadcast live on online platforms such as YouTube, and
hundreds of citizens were able to connect with the scene by watching it live on a
large screen at Seoul Station Plaza.
The monitoring team pointed out that the results of the early voting and the actual
voting were completely opposite after about ten days of on-site investigation and
data analysis. The pattern of a certain candidate winning in the early voting and
losing in the actual voting in every district is statistically very unlikely, and it was
explained that it was like “the probability of flipping 253 coins at the same time
and getting heads all the time.”
In addition, many irregularities were reported, such as CCTV blocking, new ballot
papers that were not folded, pre-stamped Freemark ballot papers, and cases
where only certain candidates were voted for, and video evidence was also presented
of thousands of votes being continuously counted for a certain candidate on
electronic voting machines. In overseas voting, cases were confirmed where a
certain candidate received over 99% of the votes, and it was claimed that many
cases of forgery were discovered, such as inconsistencies in the route, time, and
barcode of postal ballots.
The monitoring group strongly raised the possibility of Chinese Communist
Party intervention in particular. They presented specific examples such as
the use of Chinese network equipment, hacking of SKT, use of fake IDs, and
mobilization of Chinese tour buses, and claimed that China was exporting election
interference technology through international organizations such as A-WEB.
At the press conference that day, American speakers stated the following:
Gordon Chang called this election “a stolen election,” and former Ambassador
Morse H. Tan criticized that “the National Election Commission violated the
Public Official Election Act.”
Retired Colonel John R. Mills warned that “the Korean election system is
extremely vulnerable to external hacking,” and Professor Dr. Bradley A.
Thayer claimed that “A-WEB is a window for exporting election fraud.”
Retired Colonel Grant Newsham said, “It is difficult to view Korea as a liberal
democracy any longer.”
On the Korean side, attorney Park Joo-hyun stated, “There is no constitutional
basis for an early presidential election, and I will reveal the truth through
a lawsuit to invalidate the election,” and former lawmaker Min Kyung-wook
claimed, “This election was not simply fraud, but the work of an international
election rigging cartel, and China’s intervention was key.” Former Prime
Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn emphasized in a video message, “An international
investigation and a report to the UN are necessary.”
The watchdog group urged the U.S. Congress and the international
community to launch an international investigation into the results
of the South Korean presidential election, reject Lee Jae-myung's win
and hold a new election, and sanction and respond to the Chinese
Communist Party's interference in the election.
This press conference is not just a simple political statement, but can
be seen as a warning that liberal democracy in both Korea and the
United States is under simultaneous threat, and as a call for a resolute
response from the international community.
Immediately after the press conference of the International Election
Monitoring Team (IEMT), the domestic mainstream media has been
cautious and has not reported on the content. Only a few Internet media
outlets and YouTube channels have reported the content in detail, and there
has been criticism that “the media is effectively silent.”
The National Election Commission has not made an official statement
regarding this press conference. However, the Election Commission
has maintained its existing position in the past that “non-official
international organizations cannot be permitted to observe elections”
regarding requests from private political groups, and it is also
maintaining its position that this presidential election was legally managed
in accordance with the Public Official Election Act. There has been no
official response from the National Assembly or the executive branch.
