Posts with the doctored image have circulated in Facebook groups supporting incumbent President Yoon Suk Yeol and went on to say it showed Cho tried to drum up support for his party by stirring anti-Japanese sentiment. The original image, however, showed him holding a sign calling on voters to support his party at an election rally in April 2024.
The Yonhap report said Cho held up the placard during a party rally in Gimpo city, during which he criticised the ruling party's governance and called on voters to support his party.
No reference to Japan or a boycott could be seen on Cho's sign, or on any of the other three signs he subsequently held in front of the camera at the rally. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bHNimjTpxd8
