[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 27th, the United Future Party criticized the Democratic Party of Korea, asking, "Are you trying to start the 21st National Assembly as the 'Yoon Mee-hyang Shield National Assembly'?"

Choi Hyung-doo, the floor spokesperson for the United Future Party, said in a statement that day, "What unspeakable circumstances does the ruling party with 177 seats have that whenever Yoon Mee-hyang's name comes up, all they say is 'fact-checking comes first, let's wait for the prosecution's investigation'?"

He added, "Are they mocking the comfort women grandmothers by calling them pro-Japanese collaborators or suffering from dementia just to save Yoon, who is under investigation for embezzlement of government subsidies and donations?" He pointed out, "Shouting victory in the historical war between Korea and Japan while insulting the witnesses of history is a serious self-contradiction. Ignoring Grandma Lee Yong-soo's desperate cries and shielding Yoon Mee-hyang will only invite defeat in the historical and moral war against Japan."

He continued, "Despite Yoon, who claims to have been engaged in civic activism for 30 years to resolve the comfort women issue, betraying the comfort women grandmothers, the government has no clear stance and is passing the responsibility to the ruling party, saying 'the party is responding adequately.' Isn't this government inaction unconstitutional?"

Choi, the floor spokesperson, said, "The 21st National Assembly begins on the 30th. There are concerns that it will become a shielded National Assembly granting Yoon immunity from arrest." He stated, "The allegations of corruption against Yoon are not a matter of factional conflict or political strife. The truth should be revealed and responsibility taken."

Choi added, "The Democratic Party should stop 'shielding Yoon Mee-hyang' and listen to the solutions desired by the victim grandmothers, including Grandma Lee."
