and it is difficult to discern such element, such element may be found to a certain extent of objectivity through other 'subjective elements that can be objectified' in relative terms of the 'activeness' of the deed or the 'premeditatedness' thereof. (B) Whether the statements electoral campaign of the President constituted 1) Article 58(1) of the Public Officials Election Act makes it a prerequisite for the electoral campaign 'whether or not a candidate can be specified,' by adopting the standard of 'being elected' in defining the concept of 'electoral campaign.' Therefore, the concept of electoral campaign is premised upon that it should be an activity to have win or lose a 'specific' or at least 'discernible' candidate.

Therefore, strictly including all of the statements at a press conference in the definition of the electoral campaign would excessively limit the freedom of expression of a political figure. Especially, when the current Public Officials Election Act permits electoral campaigns - 178 -
