Min Kyung-wook reportedly collapsed while showing symptoms of a cerebral hemorrhage during a speech on election fraud.
Kim Sang-hyun, a member of the Liberty and Innovation Party and CEO of the franchise Gukdae Tteokbokki, stated on Facebook that Min lost consciousness around 5:30 p.m. while speaking at the Goshin Patriotic Leaders Union forum in Seoul, which began at 2 p.m. He was subsequently transported to an emergency room at a hospital in Seoul.
Kim added, "He remains unconscious, but his breathing has returned. We are preparing for CT scans as brain damage is suspected." He also mentioned that two officials from the Liberty and Innovation Party were present and received the news directly, and that the family has been informed. He requested prayers for Min's recovery.
Go Myung-gil, a specialist committee chair at the Goshin Patriotic Leaders Union, described the situation, saying, "I was sitting in front of the podium and, having received regular first aid training at a nursing home, I immediately rushed to the stage and began CPR. His breathing returned after about a minute."
He added, "While the issue of election fraud is often dismissed by the People Power Party and the public remains skeptical, I was energized by the 'All-Gong Incident' and had been actively participating when he collapsed."
Earlier that day, Min attended the 11th Goshin Patriotic Leaders Union forum held at the Korean Christian Church in Jongno, Seoul, where he was a speaker. During his lecture on 'Election Fraud and the Christian's Calling,' he reportedly exhibited abnormal symptoms and fell backward while engaging with the audience.
After Min was taken to the hospital, the event organizers canceled all remaining activities.
