[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Former Saenuri Party (predecessor of the United Future Party) lawmaker Jeon Yeo-ok criticized Yoon Mi-hyang, the elected member of the Democratic Party of Korea, on the 27th, calling her "the most shameless criminal since Dangun."

In a post on her blog that day, former lawmaker Jeon addressed the allegations of accounting irregularities at the Justice and Memory Foundation (Jeonguiyeok), saying, "The people of this country will never stand by and watch. No matter how much she tries to balance the accounts, Yoon Mi-hyang is helpless and can only hide tightly."

Regarding Democratic Party leader Lee Hae-chan's comment that "some media outlets are making highly distorted reports" about Yoon Mi-hyang, former lawmaker Jeon raised her voice, saying, "It seems like an order came from somewhere. Is Yoon Mi-hyang’s act of using comfort women grandmothers to circulate money a trivial mistake?"

About Democratic Party lawmaker Woo Sang-ho's remark that "Even if the grandmother is angry, we can't force (Yoon Mi-hyang) to resign," referring to comfort women victim grandmother Lee Yong-soo, she pointed out, "Did this grandmother simply make that fiery cry out of anger as her last word?"

Earlier, on the 26th, former lawmaker Jeon also made strong criticisms against Yoon Mi-hyang in a post. Through her blog, she said, "Yoon Mi-hyang dragged around sick and elderly grandmothers, placed money boxes, and made them beg. But when this grandmother said 'I'm hungry,' she said 'I have no money' and didn’t even buy her a meal."

She emphasized that Yoon Mi-hyang "must eventually be summoned by the prosecution," and said, "The prosecution should summon 'Donmiyang' before she wears the badge of the 21st National Assembly member and lay out the charges such as raids and nominee accounts right in front of her."
