Jeong Yi-han, the Reform New Party’s candidate for Busan mayor, lost consciousness and was hospitalized after a member of the public threw a beverage at him during a campaign stop in Geumjeong District.

According to Jeong’s campaign on the 27th, a motorist approached the rally that morning, shouted, “What kind of kid is running for mayor?” and poured the drink onto Jeong’s face.

Jeong lost his balance, fell backward, and struck his head on the ground during the fall. He was taken immediately to a hospital and is receiving treatment.

Immediately after the incident, the Reform New Party condemned the assault as a grave matter, calling it a blatant act of violence that threatens the basic order of democracy and amounts to de facto terrorism.

Party leader Lee Jun-seok said, “You can support a courageous challenger, but resorting to terror is immature.” He added that someone had shouted, “What kind of kid is running for mayor?” and emphasized that Busan needs young leadership now more than ever.
