[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Won Yu-cheol, leader of the Future Korea Party, announced on the 19th that he has formed a task force (TF) to investigate the various allegations surrounding Yoon Mi-hyang, the elected member of the Democratic Party of Korea, and the Justice and Memory Foundation (Jeonguiyeon).

At the highest council meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Representative Won said, "We are also considering forming a TF together with the United Future Party."

Representative Won pointed out, "The allegations related to Jeonguiyeon keep emerging like a string of sweet potato stems, intensifying public controversy," and added, "Regardless of Yoon’s public service for the comfort women victims over the past 30 years, she should reflect on and reconsider the fact that she has reached a point where the victims themselves, the grandmothers, are criticizing her."

Representative Won stated, "In order not to damage the human rights activities for comfort women victims, we must not distort the grandmothers’ true intentions or rely on a pro-Japanese frame," and emphasized, "She must show efforts and determination to uphold morality and transparency herself. As a member of the National Assembly, not a civic activist, she must bear in mind her heavy public responsibility."

Representative Won said, "The Democratic Party of Korea should not just cover up with partisan logic. They are not free from responsibility in the investigation and accountability," and added, "They must apologize for misleading the public with a pro-Japanese frame and take the lead in clarifying the allegations."
