[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 25th, the United Future Party demanded an explanation regarding the press conference held by Grandmother Lee Yong-soo, stating, "It is now the turn of elected representative Yoon Mi-hyang and the Democratic Party of Korea to respond."


Hwang Gyu-han, deputy spokesperson of the United Future Party, said in a statement that day, "Not only has she endured unimaginable pain and a life of hardship, but we cannot even begin to imagine the feelings of a grandmother who has to hold such a press conference."


Deputy spokesperson Hwang added, "Seeing the grandmother, who said she cried bitterly thinking she was foolishly deceived despite her advanced age, the people cried together and could only feel anger together," and questioned, "What else will elected representative Yoon and the Democratic Party say?"


He continued, "Will they still claim that the grandmother's memory has been distorted? Or will they try to mislead by saying she was someone who applied for proportional representation?" and added, "This is neither an ideological issue nor a matter of politics. It is a natural duty as citizens of the Republic of Korea to properly comfort the wounds of the grandmothers."



Deputy spokesperson Hwang pointed out, "Legal punishment issues regarding the numerous suspicions raised after the first press conference will be addressed through the prosecution's investigation," and said, "If the suspicions are proven true, punishment must be given as the grandmother said, so that such incidents never happen again."
