[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun said on the 17th, "We will relentlessly pursue sexual crimes, including digital sex crimes, and ensure that the perpetrators pay the appropriate price."

On the same day, Prime Minister Chung posted on his Facebook, "Today marks the 4th anniversary of the 'Gangnam Station Murder Case,' where a woman lost her life at the hands of a stranger in downtown Seoul. The government will ensure that women can live their daily lives with peace of mind," he stated.

Prime Minister Chung expressed condolences, saying, "Four springs have already passed since that day, but the grief of the victim's family must still be trapped in a cold winter."

He added, "While we have faced crises like the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which have generally enhanced our society's crisis response capabilities and problem-solving skills, gender equality remains an unfinished task," pointing out, "Many women still feel uneasy in their daily lives."

Prime Minister Chung noted, "Crimes against women continue unabated," and pointed out, "The Nth Room case, which recently shocked our society, is a representative example."

He continued, "Half of the world is female. Random crimes against women are attacks on humanity itself," emphasizing, "We will establish a foundation for gender equality throughout society. If there are policies or systems that disadvantage either gender, we will boldly correct them."
