[Asia Economy Reporter Donghoon Jeong] Amid allegations of accounting fraud surrounding Yoon Mi-hyang, the proportional representative-elect of the Democratic Party of Korea (former director of the Justice and Memory Foundation), the Korean Women's Associations United issued a statement on the 27th urging, "Yoon Mi-hyang should promptly apologize to Grandma Lee Yong-soo and the public and face strict legal judgment."

The association referred to the issues raised by Grandma Lee Yong-soo, a victim of the Japanese military sexual slavery, stating, "She must come forward quickly before the comfort women grandmothers and the public, kneel down, and sincerely apologize." They added, "If she cannot present accurate explanatory materials regarding the raised allegations, she should clarify her position before the opening of the 21st National Assembly and make a wise choice according to her conscience."

They continued, "We believe in the sincerity of Grandma Lee's remarks and will actively support future activities." They also asked, "Despite the daily emergence of allegations of accounting fraud against the Justice and Memory Foundation, why has Yoon Mi-hyang failed to provide a clear explanation and remained silent while avoiding contact with the media?"

The Korean Women's Associations United stated, "Even from the facts known so far, there are matters that are absolutely incomprehensible and unacceptable," and raised their voices, saying, "The prosecution must conduct a thorough and comprehensive investigation into this case."
