[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The United Future Party criticized Kim Nam-guk, the Democratic Party candidate for Ansan Danwon, for condoning obscene remarks and commenting on women's bodies while looking at their photos during a past podcast broadcast.

Jung Won-seok, the full-time spokesperson for the United Future Party, pointed out in a statement on the 13th, "Candidate Kim appeared several times on a podcast called 'Three Yeongojun' early last year, and the content of the broadcast was truly outrageous."

'Three Yeongojun' is a podcast that brands itself as a "comedy entertainment counseling broadcast filled with sexual jokes and profanity," and Kim appeared on this show multiple times. In episode 25 of the broadcast in February last year, when one man said, "There is always a gap in relationships. The person who likes more inevitably becomes the subordinate," another man made a blatant remark, "Suck it," causing the participants, including candidate Kim, to burst into laughter.

In the following episode 26, the participants passed around a photo of a tipster and commented on her body, saying "Her breasts are big." Kim added, "Wow, you must have wanted to brag about this."

Spokesperson Jung criticized, "They evaluated women's bodies while looking at photos, distorted male-female relationships, and made obscene and suggestive jokes?remarks too embarrassing to put into words," adding, "Throughout the broadcast, candidate Kim consistently laughed along or showed agreement. There was no sign of remorse or awareness of the problem."

He said, "It seems like the nightmare of Kim Yong-min, who shocked the entire nation with misogynistic and vulgar remarks such as 'Let's rape and kill US Secretary Rice' and 'Let's sell contraceptives as aphrodisiacs' before the 2012 general election, is being revived," criticizing, "This person appeared on TV debates talking about 'gender sensitivity' and deceived the public by claiming to establish a judicial system that does not compromise on digital sex crimes."

Spokesperson Jung added, "The Democratic Party, whose party leader is already calling the 'Nth Room incident' a political conspiracy, can we really entrust our National Assembly to them?"
