South Korea’s Presidential Election Claim Lacks Primary Source Support – Coincu

Unverified claims surfaced about Lee Jae-myung winning South Korea’s presidency on June 3, with news from PANews and JTBC TV alleging his support for cryptocurrency policy changes. However, these claims remain unconfirmed through reliable sources. Lee Jae-myung, Presidential Candidate, Democratic Party, said, “As of June 3, 2025, there is no official confirmation from JTBC or other primary sources validating my election or any specific cryptocurrency policy proposals.”

Without official validation, these claims highlight ongoing issues with misinformation. The absence of primary data underscores the need for verification in such reports.

Crypto Market Awaits Validated Policy Signals Amid Fake News Worries

PANews claims based on Jinshi’s citation that JTBC TV reported Lee Jae-myung’s presidential win, attributing his support for spot crypto ETFs and reduced transaction fees. No primary source confirms these claims, nor his promised issuance of a won-pegged stablecoin. Authorities have previously addressed similar misinformation involving JTBC-style fake reports concerning Lee Jae-myung.

Market reactions remain quiet, given the absence of official confirmation. This lack of response is consistent with prior instances where fabricated news has circulated. South Korean authorities have historically countered such misinformation, emphasizing the legal consequences for ongoing dissemination.
