[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] It has been confirmed that the victim and an employee of the Seoul City Secretary's Office conducted a confrontation investigation regarding allegations of condoning sexual harassment by the late Park Won-soon, former mayor of Seoul.


According to the police on the 13th, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency conducted a confrontation investigation on the afternoon of the 11th between the victim and employee A of the Seoul City Secretary's Office.


A police official explained, "The investigation aimed to confirm whether the witness (A) heard the complainant's (victim's) request for personnel transfer."



However, the police did not conduct a polygraph test as A did not consent. The police plan to actively consider additional confrontation investigations in the future to clarify the facts.
