[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon, Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Amid the ongoing investigation into the allegations of sexual harassment filed by a former secretary against the late Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon, a man claiming to be Park's nephew stated, "My uncle was a complete fool when it came to women from a young age."

On the 15th, Oh, who identified himself as Mayor Park's nephew, wrote on his Facebook, "My maternal uncle, Mayor Park Won-soon, was absolutely not a great man capable of such things."

Oh claimed, "Those guys (the conservative camp) are the type who, if they like someone, would harm women without batting an eye and are so-called 'players who mess with women.' But the Democratic Party lawmakers, especially those from civic groups, are complete novices in that regard." The post has since been deleted.

He also commented on the funeral of Mayor Park being held as a Seoul City funeral, saying, "I attended meetings regarding the funeral procedures with several Seoul city officials, lawmakers, and as a representative of the bereaved family. A Seoul city official explained in detail the difference between a 'family funeral' and a 'Seoul City funeral' and the budget support involved." He added, "The bereaved family initially wanted a quiet family funeral. But one lawmaker said absolutely not. They said they could not let it be that way."

He continued, "They said the political aftermath would be significant, but that was a problem the Democratic Party would have to bear. They said the citizens and the mayor’s supporters should be given a final chance to say goodbye."
