Ha Tae-kyung: "Lee Hae-chan uniquely coined the term 'victim complainant' only during Mayor Park's tenure"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the United Future Party, questioned Lee Hae-chan, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, for referring to the woman who accused the late Mayor Park Won-soon of sexual harassment as a "female victim claimant," asking, "Is it because there is a possibility that Mayor Park is innocent?"

On the 15th, Ha pointed out on Facebook, "In the past, the Democratic Party referred to women who were victims of the Me Too movement as sexual crime victims or female victims." On the same day, Lee apologized, saying, "I sincerely apologize and am sorry to the people, the victim claimants, and women's organizations working for women's rights."

He said, "In the cases of Ahn Hee-jung and Oh Keo-don, the victims were called victims. But in this case involving Mayor Park, a new term 'female victim claimant' was created." He questioned Lee and female lawmakers of the Democratic Party, asking, "What is the criterion for distinguishing between a victim and a victim claimant?"

He continued, "Why were the victims called victims in the Ahn Hee-jung and Oh Keo-don cases, but called victim claimants in this case?" and added, "Is it because Governor Ahn and Mayor Oh are not considered innocent, but Mayor Park might be?"
