[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Kim Myung-jin, a preliminary candidate for the National Assembly member of the Alternative Party in Seo-gu Gap, Gwangju Metropolitan City, stated on the 17th, "There is much to be done as this is practically the last extraordinary session of the 20th National Assembly," and urged, "Especially, the bills related to the punishment of distortion of the May 18 history, which have been pending in the Legislation and Judiciary Committee even after the new year, must be passed in this National Assembly."

Candidate Kim Myung-jin said, "Recent remarks and behaviors that belittle and distort the May 18 incident, such as Hwang Kyo-ahn's outrageous comments, Lee Jong-myung's trick expulsion, neglect of May 18 distortion in game content, and Ji Man-won's release without detention, have continuously provoked anger not only among the citizens of Gwangju but also the public," and insisted, "Strong legal sanctions must be put in place to prevent any further attempts to distort and belittle May 18 from gaining ground."

He added, "Marking the 40th anniversary of May 18, I hope the 20th National Assembly remembers its final duty and shows a commendable conclusion."
