A Nation on Edge: Freedom or Submission
As early voting began on May 29, the Republic of Korea—one of America’s most vital Pacific allies—plunged into what many believe could be its last free and fair election. Former National Assemblyman and veteran journalist Min Kyungwook described the stakes plainly: “Freedom in South Korea hangs in the balance.” The outcome of this election will not only determine the country’s leadership but may set the trajectory of Korea’s alignment—toward the U.S. and democratic sovereignty or toward the Chinese Communist Party and authoritarian control.
The Shadow of CCP Elite Capture
South Korea has long been the target of Chinese Communist Party elite capture. According to Min, this long-game infiltration strategy includes:
-
Massive Chinese investment in South Korean real estate and business sectors
-
Bilateral police cooperation agreements initiated under the Moon Jae-in administration
-
The disturbing emergence of secret Chinese police stations, echoing illegal CCP outposts also uncovered in the U.S.
Despite strong public support for the U.S.—with 70% of Seoul residents identifying America as South Korea’s top ally—the nation’s political elite and institutional structures show increasing signs of CCP influence.
Lee Jae-myung: A Trojan Horse for China?
At the center of this crisis is Lee Jae-myung, the leftist candidate of the ruling Democratic Party. Critics allege Lee is:
-
Openly interested in removing U.S. troops from South Korea
-
In favor of pivoting toward China in diplomatic and economic alignment
-
Currently on trial for violating U.S. and U.N. sanctions by secretly sending $8 million to North Korea
Two of his subordinates have already been convicted, yet his trial was conveniently postponed until after the June 3 election. If elected, he may face international travel restrictions, a geopolitical embarrassment and risk for U.S.-Korean alliance efforts.
Election Integrity Under Fire
An international election monitoring team led by Ambassador Morse Tan, a respected figure from the Trump administration, issued a devastating preliminary report on the first day of early voting. The findings are damning:
1. Illegal Ballot Seals
Voting centers used machine-printed seals in violation of South Korea’s election law requiring physical seals from an election official. This removes a critical layer of ballot authenticity verification.
2. Voter Count Discrepancies
Manual tallies by citizen monitors showed large gaps between real voter counts and NEC-reported numbers, calling into question the entire early voting turnout data.
3. Ballot Leakage
Viral video and media reports captured voters carrying unmarked ballots out of polling stations, a catastrophic breach of custody protocols.
4. Impossible Throughput Rates
In some precincts, reported voter numbers exceeded what is physically possible within the available hours—indicating potential fraud in digital tallies.
The monitoring team concluded these issues are not minor clerical errors but structural threats to the legitimacy of the election. They called for an immediate independent forensic investigation and pledged to submit their findings to the U.S. government, the U.N., and other international bodies.
What Must Happen Now
1. A Statement from President Trump
According to Min and many Korean patriots, a strong statement from President Donald J. Trump supporting free and fair elections in South Korea could rally the nation and remind the world that the U.S. stands with democracy against foreign interference.
2. Congressional Oversight on Lee Jae-myung
The U.S. Congress must subpoena records and investigate Lee’s financial ties to North Korea and his broader alignment with the Chinese Communist Party.
3. Immediate U.S. Ambassador Appointment
There is currently no American Ambassador to South Korea. The Biden administration must act immediately to send a pro-American, action-oriented envoy who will defend U.S. interests and remind Korean leadership of the economic, military, and diplomatic costs of pivoting toward Beijing.
A Warning from General Flynn
General Michael Flynn issued a dire warning: “If no one of substance in the USG pays attention to what the CCP is doing, will it even matter? The upcoming ROK elections are already seeing signs of fraud. A fraudulent outcome will benefit the CCP.”
Conclusion: South Korea Is the New Battleground
This is not just a South Korean election. It is a proxy war for global democracy, a moment when the world’s eyes must focus on Seoul. If South Korea falls under Beijing’s shadow, Taiwan, Japan, and even America’s Pacific command will find themselves encircled.
This is a call to action—for the American people, Congress, and the global freedom movement. The world must stand with the Korean people against the creeping advance of tyranny.
