”Try speaking Korean”... Election fraud monitoring group launches crackdown on Chinese in front of polling stations = South Korea

On the 29th, the first day of advance voting for South Korea's 21st presidential election, a civic group claiming that the election was rigged conducted a "Korean test" on voters in order to monitor for any irregularities.
According to South Korea's Yonhap News Agency, at around 1 p.m. on the same day, evidence of "Chinese election interference" was found in front of an advance polling station in Daerim 2-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, where there are many Chinese residents.
Five or six young people and YouTubers were identified as having gathered to find the truth behind the rumor. They said to the people who had already voted, "We are university students and our professor has given us an assignment," and asked, "What kind of country is Korea?
" They asked questions such as "Is it possible that Chinese people are disguising their identities to vote?" and took action to verify whether the person was a Korean national. One of them, a man in his 30s, claimed that "Chinese people may be disguising their identities to vote."
"It would be strange if I spoke to them and they couldn't speak Korean at all," he said. Some organization officials said they were using mobile phone cameras to monitor polling stations in Gangnam and other areas for fraudulent elections.
They took photos of people entering polling stations during the polling fair and used manual counters to count the number of people. People were also seen counting voters outside of Seoul, as a way to monitor for election fraud.
According to the Gyeonggi Nambu National Police Agency, as of 1:30 p.m., people monitoring such election fraud were confirmed at 26 of the 448 early polling stations in the area. These people are:
Two members were stationed near each of the major early voting stations to record the number of voters who actually entered the polling station. The group wrote the character "sei" (positive) on the list while entering the early voting station.
They recorded the number of voters entering and leaving the building, checked the number of people with a manual counter, and filmed the whole process. Some citizens complained that their actions were "unpleasant."
The Public Offices Election Act prohibits election campaigning within a 100-meter radius of a pre-election polling station, supporting or opposing a specific candidate, or engaging in any other activity that could affect an election.
However, the group is said to have not engaged in any other activities besides counting votes. A source from the Central Election Commission said, "We will not take strict measures unless it is an act that obstructs the voting process.
"It's a difficult situation to deal with," he said, adding, "In particular, if someone directly opposes early voting or starts a signature campaign, we can determine that they are interfering with the freedom to vote and take action, but if they just stand there and take photos without doing anything,
If that's all it takes, it will be difficult to regulate it under the Public Offices Election Act."
