[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] Min Kyung-guk, former Personnel Planning Secretary of Seoul City, and Kim Min-ung, professor at Kyung Hee University Future Civilization Institute, who disclosed a letter containing the real name of the victim in the sexual harassment allegations against the late former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon on social networking services (SNS), have been reported to the police.

Kim Jae-ryeon, legal representative of the victim A in this case and a lawyer at Onsesang Law Firm, stated on the 25th, "We filed a complaint against former Secretary Min and Professor Kim at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency yesterday."

Former Secretary Min posted three letters on his Facebook on the 23rd, written by A between 2016 and 2018 congratulating former Mayor Park on his birthday. Subsequently, Professor Kim posted photos of the same letters on his SNS, during which A's real name was exposed online for nearly 30 minutes.

Regarding this, Lawyer Kim pointed out, "This violates Article 24 of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes (prohibition of disclosure of victim's identity and privacy)."

Through Facebook, Lawyer Kim also emphasized, "It is now the responsibility of the Korean police to deal with those who deny and regress the rule of law," adding, "Detention investigation is the answer."
