[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] Yoon Mee-hyang, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea who is accused of embezzling donations while serving as the chairperson of the Justice and Memory Foundation (Jeonguiyeokyeondae), has revealed letters of support from her supporters.

On the 2nd, Yoon shared handwritten letters from her supporters on her Facebook, saying, "I sincerely thank the members of the National Assembly who congratulated the opening with flower pots, messages, phone calls, and visits to cheer me on."

According to the letters Yoon disclosed that day, one supporter who identified themselves as a Democratic Party rights party member wrote, "You have to look closely to see the beauty. You have to look for a long time to see the loveliness. You are like that too. You must have had a lot of emotional distress, but please don’t forget that there are many more citizens supporting you, and I hope you stay strong."

Another supporter wrote, "Show us your confident legislative activities in the National Assembly. I will always support you. Don’t get tired, don’t give up, and stay with us until the end."

Yoon added, "Although various situations are not easy, the office of Representative Yoon Mee-hyang in Room 530 of the National Assembly Members’ Office Building has been busy fulfilling its duties sincerely under the current circumstances," and "It will take more time to settle in, but if you watch over us and support us, it will give us greater strength."

Earlier, Yoon sent a letter to fellow Democratic Party lawmakers the day before, stating, "Since the May 7 press conference of Grandmother Lee Yong-soo, various suspicions and sometimes distortions about me, my family, Jeongdaehyeop, and Jeonguiyeokyeondae have followed," and "The initial helplessness and bewilderment were endured, and I was able to stand at the press conference because of the support and patience of Representative Lee Hae-chan and other lawmakers and party members."

Meanwhile, Yoon is under investigation by prosecutors over allegations of fraudulent accounting of donations for victims of Japanese military sexual slavery during her tenure as chairperson of Jeonguiyeokyeondae.
