[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hye-min] Allegations have emerged that Kim Nam-guk, the Democratic Party candidate for Ansan Danwon in Gyeonggi Province who participated in the 'Cho Kuk White Paper,' appeared multiple times on a podcast broadcast that repeatedly engaged in misogyny and sexual harassment.


Park Soon-ja, the United Future Party candidate for the same district, held a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Office on the 13th, stating, "Since January last year, Kim has served as a co-host of a broadcast filled with all kinds of profanity, sexual disparagement, and shameful sexual conversations," making these claims.


In the podcast conversations disclosed by Park, the hosts exchanged sexual remarks such as "Before you get married, you have to go to a hundred ○○○," and "○○ only does hair." Park said, "During this, Kim also laughed and enjoyed the hosts' sexually disparaging remarks, and even participated in evaluating women's bodies and sexuality by saying, 'If it's to that extent, I could decide to get married right a month later.'"


He added, "Although Kim criticized the Nth Room case, what difference is there between digital sexual exploitation acts stemming from distorted sexual awareness and Kim's broadcast?" and urged, "Kim, who showed double standards, should resign immediately, and the Democratic Party, which carried out parachute strategic nominations without verification, should apologize."



Kim was a leading figure in the rallies in front of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in Seocho-dong during the 'Cho Kuk incident.' Initially, he applied for nomination in Seoul Gangseo-gap, but the Democratic Party strategically nominated him in Ansan Danwon.
