[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Young-eun] Former People Power Party lawmaker Na Kyung-won criticized on the 22nd that "the operation has started again. They are the kind of people who cannot endure otherwise," after doubts about the authenticity of her overseas childbirth allegations resurfaced following the release of a medical opinion letter.

Na posted on her Facebook that day, "As soon as I posted the medical opinion letter for my son's birth, the operation started again. I expected this. It is close to a cult-like act," she said.

She added, "They fabricate absurd stories, claiming forgery, fabrication, or lack of logos... Aren't they ashamed of calling themselves 'experts'?"

Na claimed, "Last year, fake news started spreading that I had an overseas childbirth at the La Chi Mont postpartum care center," and "I refuted it by saying that the postpartum care center opened in 2000, and I gave birth to my son in 1997, so what nonsense is this?"

She continued, "Then they insisted that it was actually operating since 1997, which is an unreasonable claim," and said, "Do these people never change? Even conspiracy theories need some development and evolution."

Na added, "I don't know why they recklessly rush like this, as if they will be embarrassed later," and "The medical opinion letter details the admission and discharge dates and the newborn's weight, so what more explanation is needed..."

She further stated, "They are completely immersed in slander and defamation to cover up their moral bankruptcy. They have completely left the realm of reason and are trapped in their own world," and "Condemning them is the first step toward normalizing the Republic of Korea."

Earlier, Na, who had faced allegations of overseas childbirth and dual citizenship related to her son, released a doctor's opinion letter on her Facebook on the 21st. The letter, issued by Seoul National University Hospital in September last year, stated that she was admitted on December 11, 1997, for induced labor, underwent induced labor the next day to give birth, and was discharged on the 14th of the same month.

However, some questioned why she released a medical opinion letter instead of a birth certificate, which directly proves childbirth.

On the 21st, Professor Han Myung-seok of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Dong-A University Hospital in Busan wrote on his Facebook, "If you want to prove childbirth, you should post the birth certificate. This is a very unusual medical opinion letter. Issuing a medical opinion letter for a delivery that happened 22 years ago is very rare," and added, "A medical opinion letter is literally just a doctor's opinion and does not mention anywhere that the delivery was at Seoul National University Hospital. If it had been issued as a diagnosis certificate, the issuing doctor could be held responsible, so it would be more trustworthy."
