I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 310



Only Noblemtl

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (310)

[Korea, Park Sang-geun’s effect was clear]

[Young people in their 20s and 30s enter the National Assembly in large numbers]

[Out of 233 members of the National Assembly, 31% (73 people) are in their 20s and 30s]

This is America,

Another bomb has been dropped on the United States, which has been in an uproar over recent election fraud controversies.

It’s been six years since the last general election in South Korea. What on earth did the Korean voters believe in to elect those brats to the National Assembly?

Several experts analyzed the cause and concluded that it was the ‘Park Sang-geun effect’.

“South Korea’s general elections have been strongly influenced by Marshal Park Sang-geun since long ago. It is not strange for someone nominated by him to be elected.”

In the United States, it is common for a primary to be held within the party to decide on a candidate for election, but is this the case in Korea as well?

In South Korea, the head of state cannot directly appoint members of the National Assembly, but he can nominate candidates, which of course is theoretically possible.

Has the head of state of Korea ever directly nominated a candidate for the National Assembly?

There have been instances where people who were elected as members of the National Assembly nominated candidates for the position of Prime Minister (Kim Jong-pil, Park Chung-hee, Ui Myung-bak). But what does it mean to say that in Korea, people nominated by the head of state become members of the National Assembly?

This is a remark that belittles the significance of the general election held in Korea.

62.85% of voters support a particular candidate because of the influence of the head of state.

In America, where conspiracy theories run rampant, this is a statement that could easily come out.

An expert who is well aware of the reality in Korea dismissed this controversy.

“It is true that Korea is still under the shadow of Marshal Park Sang-geun. However, he is currently commanding the Indian front in Sri Lanka and is not in a position to intervene in the Korean general election.

Above all, the Korean People’s Party, which had dominated Korea for over 40 years, has collapsed, and the Centrist New Party and the Women’s Peace Party have taken its place. If Park Sang-geun had supported a specific party and candidate, the Centrist New Party and the Women’s Peace Party would not have won 122 and 81 seats, respectively.”

If the head of state wanted to create a political party that would act according to his will, we would have voted for a specific party.

However, the results were the exact opposite, with the Centrist New Party and the Women’s Peace Party taking 122 and 81 seats respectively, while the remaining minor parties and independent candidates took 30 seats.

Is this the result of an election where the dictator personally nominated the candidates?

If he were a dictator, he would have naturally pushed votes to a specific party, but it is obvious to anyone that that is not the case.

But what is the basis for the claim that the head of state of Korea directly nominated the candidates and manipulated the election as he wished?

Many experts continued to criticize such conspiracy theories, saying they should be discarded.

“America is too vulnerable to conspiracy theories. In the 1988 House election, 180,000 votes were invalidated due to the punch card program, and didn’t the Democrats sway public opinion by claiming that the CIA had intervened? They only see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe.

Just look at the claim that the head of state of Korea personally nominated the candidates for the National Assembly in this general election. The United States has too much nonsense due to its indiscriminate freedom, and this is why society is out of control.

Above all, it is extremely rude to say such things about another country’s general election.”

In this general election in Korea, more than 33 million citizens participated in voting, and 1.5 million people were mobilized to move and open the ballot boxes.

There were also 100,000 police officers guarding the ballot boxes.

It was a day that literally felt like a war for the entire nation.

An election that was transparent and fair from beginning to end.

Spreading the conspiracy theory that “In Korea, people nominated by the head of state become members of the National Assembly” in an election like this is like throwing dirty water on someone else’s party.

An incident that could develop into a diplomatic issue. Are you trying to say that Korea is still a dictatorship and that its elections are a mess?

In the US, where people give too much freedom and there is a lot of nonsense floating around, public opinion has been formed that such nonsense should be filtered out even within the US.

Naturally, the controversy over the CIA’s interference in the election is also dying down.

180,000 votes were invalidated due to a problem with punch cards? When votes were hand-written, more than 500,000 votes were invalidated each year.

Considering that, the argument that the CIA interfered in the election is nonsense, and the conspiracy theory put forth by the Democrats has ultimately subsided.

“I won!!”

“The national team won!!”

This is the headquarters of the Gyeongseong Joongdo Shindang. As soon as the election results were confirmed, supporters’ cheers rang out from all directions.

Park Myeong-ui is running as a candidate for Seodaemun-gu in this general election.

In Seodaemun-gu, 98,000 out of 150,000 eligible voters cast their ballots, and 53,000 of them voted for candidate Park Myeong-ui.

It was a landslide victory since he won by a wide margin (54%), but the elected official responded with humility.

“This election is not about my victory, but about me receiving forgiveness from the people. You voted for the son of a traitor who staged a coup… I am simply grateful and sorry. Now that I have been forgiven, I will sincerely do my best for the country and the people.”

Park Myeong-ui repeatedly bowed his head toward the broadcast camera.

The day I put down the burden of being the ‘son of a traitor’, I accepted the results of this election as the people’s forgiveness.

The TV screen moves back to the Women’s Peace Party headquarters,

The scene of Lee Yeon-soo, the youngest member of the National Assembly in South Korea’s history (at age 22), receiving a bouquet of flowers was broadcast live.

It was an expected result, but the public was surprised. Who would have imagined that a young woman who hadn’t even graduated from college would become a member of the National Assembly?

If you look at it that way, it’s not that surprising that a young person is elected in Korea, given that the head of state became president at the age of 20.

But what’s surprising is that,

The relay camera doggedly dug into the tear-stained face of the winner.

“Candidate Lee Yeon-soo, you have become the youngest member of the National Assembly in the history of the Republic of Korea. Please tell us your thoughts.”

“Sigh~ Thank you, citizens. Thank you. Thank you. I will work hard in the future!!”

The young lady, who was unable to control her emotions and could not say anything else, could not raise her head despite the cheers from supporters from all directions.

Who would have thought that a young girl who was born as an orphan and never received parental love would receive the support of 60,000 voters in Dongdaemun-gu?

The voting rate was a whopping 60%,

Could it be that Go Ara’s unfortunate background served as a symbol of sympathy?

But it is not right to disparage him like that, because CEO Lee Yeon-su has done countless good deeds with Christian volunteer groups.

This was confirmed as a result of the audit of political party subsidies.

There is no reason not to elect this person.

It can be said with certainty that the elected officials Park Myeong-ui and Lee Yeon-su are the superstars of this general election. They are only 30 and 22 years old respectively, and are new politicians with a bright future.

Above all, these two are in a position to receive support from the head of state.

Park Myeong-ui is the cousin of the head of state, and Lee Yeon-su was once almost the adopted daughter of the head of state.

It is true that the public’s expectations are high because they are talents raised by the head of state, and the two toured their constituencies with their supporters to express their gratitude to the voters for their election.

[Dongdaemun-dang VS Seodaemun-dang]

[What will the future of Korea be like?]

But there was some noise during this process.

Representative Park Myeong-ui was elected in Seodaemun-gu, Gyeongseong this time, and Representative Lee Yeon-su was elected in Dongdaemun-gu.

For this reason, public opinion referred to the Moderate Party as the ‘Dongdaemun Party’ and the Women’s Peace Party as the ‘Seodaemun Party’, creating a situation where the two parties appeared to be in conflict with each other.

Will the two be able to negotiate well in the future to realize parliamentary democracy?

The leaders of both parties immediately reacted sensitively, wondering if this was a repeat of the past, when politicians were divided into factions and fought each other.

“I don’t know who created this confrontation, but honestly, I’m offended. I’ve just received forgiveness from the people, and now you’re already labeling me as someone who fights factions? Dongdaemun Party VS Seodaemun Party… The title is quite plausible.”

Park Myeong-ui expressed his blatant pleasure.

It was only 4-5 years ago that my father was ruined by factional fighting, and my son is living with that in his heart, so do I really need to say something like that?

CEO Lee Yeon-su also protested in front of reporters, saying that this did not seem right.

“Representative Park is not someone we should fight against. We met once on the issue of political party subsidies, and I will continue to talk to Representative Park in the future.”

The two leaders of the two parties, who drew the line that they were not competitors, pushed forward with bipartisan talks as if it were a good thing.

There was a brief clash over the issue of grant distribution, but the issue was resolved when the head of state stepped forward.

The people, of course, are glaring at the head of state, so are you going to grab him by the hair and fight in front of him?

The two agreed to expand national health insurance benefits from 60% to 80%.

It was decided to push ahead as soon as the National Assembly was formed.

“Your Majesty, are you satisfied with this general election?”

“Satisfied? What does that mean?”

“I’m not sure if that’s what you want, so I’m just saying that.”

“Well, well… I’m sure it was fun.”

“Is it fun?”

“Yeah, elections are originally fun. Haha~.”

This is the AOPR headquarters in Sri Lanka, and I met face to face with the chairman of the election commission who flew in from Korea.

It would be a lie to say that I had no influence in the general election held after six long years.

What is clear is that this election reflected the will of the people. I never forced the people to vote for a particular candidate.

Who owes it to me that my cousin was freed from the stigma of being the son of a traitor?

It’s not me who forgives him, but public opinion. With a whopping 54% of the votes, I think we can put down our burden on our hearts.

It is also a huge event that Representative Lee Yeon-soo received 60% of the votes, and in the United States, no female candidate has ever recorded such a percentage of the votes.

That’s why elections are fun. By looking at who gets elected, you can see where public sentiment is headed.

Why do I insist on reintroducing parliamentary democracy?

It’s convenient to be a dictator and do whatever you want, but on the other hand, the political world has become less interesting because elections have disappeared.

Watching who gets elected is also part of the fun of democracy, but today’s Korean people are so used to the dictatorship that they don’t really know how to enjoy it.

Elections are the flower of politics and a splendid stage that captures the political interest of the people, and as the leader of Korea, I have a duty to brighten up that stage.

New stars have emerged and gained the support of the people, so my goal has been achieved.

And I also had a lot of fun watching this election.

It makes me happy to see so many of the young people I raised become members of the National Assembly. Isn’t this how politics should be fun?

Being a dictator for too long just gets boring, so he breathed some life into the political world of South Korea, which had been solidified under dictatorship for a long time.

Thanks to this, society feels much more relaxed, and as soon as the centrist party and the women’s peace party formed the National Assembly, they expanded health insurance to 80%.

Although neither side has a majority, things are going well in their own way. Of course, no one can guarantee how long this peace will last.
