The Korea Professional Construction Association held the election for the 12th president of the National Assembly in September last year.
Candidate Hak-soo Yoon, a former president of Seoul, and Tae-kyung Kim, a former president of North Jeolla Province, faced off, and candidate Yoon was elected with 73 votes to 88.
However, candidate Kim's side heard strange rumors shortly after the election.
As some city and provincial councils decided to support Candidate Yoon, each branch president had to leave a mark on the ballot to prevent delegates with voting rights from leaving.
The Gyeonggi Provincial Council, with 23 delegates, said that the ballot paper should be folded twice in the diagonal direction rather than in a square shape.
All votes were for Yoon.
The Incheon City Council had six delegates to vote in the upper right corner, but as expected, six ballot papers marked like this came out, all of which voted for candidate Yoon.
Candidate Kim applied for an injunction to suspend the execution of the president's duties against the elected candidate Yoon.
The first trial did not accept Kim's objection, but the Seoul High Court, in charge of the appeal, said, "The free decision-making right of the delegates was violated, and the principle of secret election that makes it impossible to know who voted for whom was violated." The president's duties were suspended.
Chairman Yoon Hak-soo said, "He said that his election campaign was just, and that the information of his opponent's candidate confirmed by the second trial seems to have been distorted" and said he would appeal to the Supreme Court again.
