[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Yoon Mi-hyang, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea who is suspected of mismanagement during her tenure as chairperson of the Justice and Memory Foundation (Jeong-ui-yeon), expressed gratitude on the 11th by sharing messages from supporters, saying, "It really gives me strength even in difficult times. Thank you."

On that day, Yoon posted on her Facebook, "The Social Justice Education Foundation, which works hard to educate about the history of comfort women from afar in the United States, sent me a flowerpot," and said this.

Yoon said, "Although I couldn't introduce each one individually, many people sent their support along with flowerpots," and posted a photo together.

The revealed photo shows a flowerpot believed to have been sent by Son Seong-sook, the representative of the Social Justice Education Foundation, along with a message that reads, "We support Assemblywoman Yoon Mi-hyang."

Earlier, Yoon has been under investigation by prosecutors regarding allegations of embezzlement of donations by the Justice and Memory Foundation.

Recently, regarding Son Young-mi (60), the director of 'Peace Our Home' in Yeonnam-dong, a shelter for comfort women victims operated by the Justice and Memory Foundation in Mapo, Seoul, who took an extreme step, Yoon expressed anger, saying, "Reporters covered the shelter as if it were a den of criminals, and prosecutors raided the shelter and conducted a search."
