[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Amid controversy over "secondary victimization" after a tbs current affairs program host made remarks implying "Why didn't you report it until now?" toward the late Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon's former secretary, Rep. Jo Su-jin of the United Future Party on the 16th pointedly said, "Criticize Prosecutor Seo Ji-hyun as well."

On that day, Rep. Jo wrote on her Facebook, "What was Prosecutor Seo Ji-hyun doing for 8 years before exposing the sexual harassment?" She added, "Pro-government broadcasters should criticize Prosecutor Seo Ji-hyun like this too."

Rep. Jo strongly criticized, "In Prosecutor Seo Ji-hyun's case, she appeared on a broadcast in 2018 to expose an incident that happened 8 years ago. Hypocrisy and double standards are tiresome."

Earlier, on the 14th, in the 202nd episode of the tbs current affairs program 'Clean Zone Podcast,' host announcer Park Ji-hee made controversial remarks considered "secondary victimization" toward the former secretary who accused Mayor Park of sexual violence.

Announcer Park said, "If this has been going on for 4 years, I am curious about what exactly was done during that time that suddenly led to coming out into the world with lawyer Kim Jae-ryun like this." She added, "The victim herself said at first that she couldn't report because of Mayor Park's position as Seoul Mayor, but I want to ask why she couldn't report at that time."

Park announcer's remarks drew criticism from some quarters, accusing her of shifting the responsibility for the sexual crime onto the victim.

Meanwhile, announcer Park hosts the tbs current affairs program 'News Factory Side Story - The Room.'
