[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Liberty Korea Party is recruiting seven female legal professionals, including lawyer Jeon Ju-hye.

The Liberty Korea Party's Talent Recruitment Committee announced on the 4th that it will hold a welcoming ceremony and announce the ninth recruitment of 2020 at the National Assembly Members' Office Building, Meeting Room 2.

The recruits include lawyer Jeon, who led the Supreme Court ruling on 'gender sensitivity' related to the Me Too movement for the first time; lawyer Jung Sun-mi, who works as a consulting lawyer on sexual harassment and sexual violence cases at Soongsil University Counseling Center; lawyer Kim Bok-dan, who deals with domestic violence and housing issues; lawyer Yoo Jung-hwa, a member of the Seoul Bar Association's School Violence Countermeasures Committee and the Liberty Korea Party's Media Special Committee; lawyer Hong Ji-hye, who participated in the defense team for the 'Bad Fathers' defamation case and secured a not guilty verdict; lawyer Oh Seung-yeon, who is active in the Korean Bar Association's Work-Family Balance Committee; and lawyer Park So-ye, a director of the Korean Women Lawyers Association.

Lawyer Jeon is also active within the Liberty Korea Party as a member of the Party's Special Committee on Organizational Strengthening. The party explained, "There is a harmony between those who have been actively involved within the party and the newly recruited members," adding, "They are working moms balancing work and family, and legal experts who have been striving to solve real-life issues faced by the public such as family, women, children, and school violence."

Going forward, they will take charge of counseling and proposing solutions related to sexual crimes and legal issues faced by women, child education, and economic fields. As part of close-knit grassroots politics, they will operate through the 'Women’s Empathy Center,' which will offer consultations via social network services (SNS) and YouTube, as well as mobile and weekend counseling offices. The Women’s Empathy Center is divided into the 'Work-Life Balance Division' for balancing work and family, and the 'Legal and Economic Division' for legal counseling.

The Liberty Korea Party Talent Recruitment Committee stated, "We will continue activities that impress the public by recruiting talents that meet the expectations of the people, including women, youth, people with disabilities, and North Korean defectors."
