[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Kim Chang-ryong, the nominee for Commissioner of the National Police Agency, stated on the 20th regarding the controversy over the designation of the sexual violence reporter in the case of the late Park Won-soon, former Mayor of Seoul, "According to the police crime investigation regulations, a person who reports sexual violence is recognized as a victim, and necessary measures are taken accordingly."

At the confirmation hearing for the National Police Agency Commissioner held at the National Assembly on the same day, when Kwon Young-se, a member of the United Future Party, asked, "What is the difference between the term 'victim complainant,' often used for the woman who accused former Mayor Park of sexual violence, and 'victim'?" Kim replied, "There is practically no significant difference."

However, when asked whether the term 'victim complainant' constitutes secondary damage in sexual violence crimes, he avoided a direct answer, saying, "It is not appropriate for me to evaluate that."
