Go Seong-guk claims he has no connection to the assailant involved in the attack on Lee Jae-myung, despite allegations indicating otherwise from South Korea's National Intelligence Service.
In a recent live broadcast, South Korean YouTuber Go Seong-guk denied any connection to the assailant, Kim, who attacked Lee Jae-myung, the former leader of the Democratic Party, during the 2024 election campaign. This comes after a report by the National Intelligence Service suggested that Kim was influenced by Go's extremist content. Go emphasized that he had never met Kim and refuted claims that they communicated through phone calls or visits. Moreover, he expressed surprise at being linked to such a serious incident, questioning the credibility of the allegations made by a member of the National Assembly.
Go recounted an episode where Kim’s son reached out to his channel five days post-incident, wanting to discuss a memo allegedly written by Kim before the attack. He explained that the son sought to communicate about the motivations behind the crime, suggesting that there might be more to this case than initially thought. However, despite several attempts to arrange a conversation and review the alleged memo, no communication materialized, leaving the matter unresolved and ending without further development.
In conclusion, Go urged authorities to investigate the matter thoroughly to clear up any misconceptions about his involvement. He expressed a desire for the actual truth behind the motivations of the assailant to be unveiled, as he felt the situation had spiraled into a misunderstanding, impacting his reputation and public perception. Go's assertion that he had no association with Kim raises questions about the possible repercussions influencing public narrative and media reporting on this incident and its broader implications in the political landscape.
