In a recent discovery, South Korea's National Intelligence Service revealed that Kim Jin-sung, the perpetrator of the terrorist attack on then-Representative Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party, was in contact with far-right YouTuber Ko Seong-guk, suggesting that there may be a network of far-right influencers involved in the attack. This revelation has prompted questions regarding the motives behind the attack and whether these influencers might have directly conspired in the act itself. Furthermore, the investigation is now focusing not only on the links between the terrorists and these far-right online figures but also on potential attempts by the police and the National Intelligence Service to downplay and cover up the incident.

The ongoing investigation has already led to significant developments, including the police task force executing search warrants on the National Intelligence Service and other related agencies. As the incident is labeled an act of terrorism under anti-terrorism laws, it is critical for investigators to unveil any further details regarding collective culpability or negligence that may have occurred during the initial handling of the attack. Evidence is surfacing that there were attempts to minimize the seriousness of the situation immediately following the attack, such as agents cleaning the crime scene and mishandling key evidence.

Previous communications have indicated plausible warnings and threats that were ignored, and negative narratives have been propagated to frame the incident. The public demands accountability not just from the perpetrator but also from the State organs responsible for national security, calling for an exhaustive examination of the occurrences surrounding the attack, to ensure the truth is unveiled and justice is served against any attempted cover-up or collaboration with extremist elements.
