[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 15th, the People’s Party stated regarding the prosecution’s decision to indict Yoon Mi-hyang, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, without detention on charges of fraud and breach of trust, “Yoon should not provoke public outrage and should voluntarily resign.”

On the same day, Ahn Hye-jin, spokesperson for the People’s Party, said in a commentary, “Yoon is emotionally appealing on social media one after another, claiming she will step down from her party position within the Democratic Party until she clears the charges imposed by the prosecution and proves her innocence.”

Spokesperson Ahn criticized, “Yoon repeatedly posted videos related to Grandma Gil Won-ok, who suffers from severe dementia, and made absurd claims that the grandmother’s proud life as a peace and human rights activist has been denied by the prosecution. How long must we watch this behavior of exploiting the comfort women grandmothers for public opinion battles? How long must we tolerate her portraying the exposure of her misdeeds as if it changes the history of comfort women?”

Ahn added, “At this point, even if she resigns from her position and lives a life of repentance, it would not be enough, yet she shamelessly has abandoned even the minimum conscience as the ultimate shameless person. Does Yoon know that she is disgracing her own party, mocking the people, and once again breaking the hearts of the comfort women grandmothers?”

Spokesperson Ahn further stated, “The rotten stench of this new deep-rooted evil, which shows a level of impact that makes past deep-rooted evils pale in comparison, is corroding the hearts of the people, and the responsibility for the fact that justice cannot be expected in this land lies with the ruling party that embraces the heartless Yoon and the government. Why is someone who should be fighting against her criminal acts by resigning from all party positions within the Democratic Party wasting taxpayers’ money by staying in the National Assembly?”
