[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 19th, the People’s Party criticized Yoon Mi-hyang, the elected member of the Democratic Party of Korea, saying, “Yoon’s lies are piling up one after another,” and urged her to “tell the truth, not lies.”

In a statement on the same day, Ahn Hye-jin, spokesperson for the People’s Party, said, “Yoon explained in 2012 regarding the apartment purchase that ‘she sold the apartment she originally lived in to raise funds,’ but when suspicions arose that the sale of the existing apartment occurred eight months after winning the auction for the new apartment, she changed her story that afternoon, saying, ‘I canceled savings and deposits and borrowed the shortfall from family members.’”

Spokesperson Ahn pointed out, “Even more serious lies are pouring out regarding the comfort women victims’ shelter,” adding, “Repeating excuses and holding out does not make lies the truth. Yoon’s behavior is no different from the Japanese government, which distorts history and endures without a sincere apology to the victims.”

Ahn urged, “Yoon should stop lying to hide the whereabouts of the tens of billions of won in donations and government subsidies for the comfort women victims’ grandmothers and come forward to tell the truth to the public,” and warned, “Keep in mind that lies inevitably lead to more lies.”

Regarding the Democratic Party, Ahn said, “The ruling party, which still talks about pro-Japanese forces without recognizing the seriousness of the situation and remains passive, should no longer fuel public outrage but start a fact-finding investigation and take measures that align with justice, fairness, and the public’s expectations.”
