[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] On the 18th, Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the United Future Party, targeted Kim Tae-nyeon, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, asking, "Do you still support Yoon Mi-hyang, the elected member of the Democratic Citizens' Party, and the Justice Memory Foundation (Jeonguiyeon)?"


On the same day, Ha posted on his Facebook, saying, "On the 15th, Floor Leader Kim expressed support for Yoon, who is seriously embroiled in accounting fraud controversies, and Jeonguiyeon, but since then, even more serious allegations than accounting fraud have surfaced."


He criticized, "Yoon entrusted the Anseong Healing Center to her father and the organization's newsletter to her husband. It was revealed that the donations were received into her personal account. Jeonguiyeon was not a place for the comfort women movement and grandmothers, but rather a shelter for Yoon Mi-hyang's family."

He continued, "Currently, Yoon and Jeonguiyeon are causing great damage to the morality of the comfort women movement," and urged, "Even if it hurts, cut it out decisively and start anew."


Finally, he said, "If you continue to defend and neglect it just because of past achievements, the efforts of the grandmothers and the support of the people will all be in vain," and called for Yoon's resignation, saying, "Even if it hurts, you must decisively cut it out and start anew."



Earlier that morning, Yoon appeared on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' and said, "I sincerely apologize for the situation that has arisen," but added, "I am not considering resigning despite the calls for my resignation."
