On April 5, 2008, Park, Hyun-ha, vice-spokesperson of Liberty Forward Party's election polling committee had a comment which was only catched by NBC-1TV.
He noted that Grand National Party(GNP) candidate Hong, Moon-pyo in the electorates Hongsung and Yesan of Chungcheong province has criticized that Liberty Forward Party(LFP) candidate Lee Hoi-chang has lied to the people in the electorates. While Lee said he is from Chungcheong, Hong urged that it was wrong because Lee was born in Hwanghae province
Park said that LFP wanted to ask GNP candidate Hong where his misconception came from, "It doesn't make sense at all. Based on his saying, it should be said that President Lee Myung-bak is from Japan because he was born there."
He pointed out that Yesan is the place where candidate Lee's ancestors and families have lived more than 300 years and there was no doubt to say candidate Lee is from Yesan.
He kept to express his concern over GNP candidate Hong's misconception which may bother voters' right choice and said that Hong should aware that it may even harm President Lee.
It was a pity that this comment by LFP didn't got much intention but it was the voice which deserved to listen carefully for everyone who runs for this election on April 9.
