[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 4th, first-term lawmakers of the People Power Party stated, “It has been revealed that Nam In-soon, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, was the person who learned from a women's organization about the accusation against the late Park Won-soon, former Mayor of Seoul, and informed the Seoul city authorities,” adding, “Is it certain that she only informed the Seoul city authorities? It is highly likely that the Blue House was also informed.”

They held a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Office on the same day and said, “Despite the serious nature of Nam’s denial of her involvement in leaking the sexual crime accusation, she has neither apologized nor made any statement, which makes the background even more suspicious,” and added, “We cannot help but suspect that she is coordinating with the Blue House. We demand that she immediately apologize to the victim and resign from her position as a lawmaker to protect the honor of the women's movement in our country.”

They claimed, “Although other female lawmakers insisted on referring to the victim as a ‘victim’ in the group chat room of 28 female Democratic Party lawmakers, Nam In-soon, Jin Sun-mi, Lee Soo-jin, and Ko Min-jung, all Democratic Party lawmakers, led the push to refer to her as a ‘victim claimant.’ Would they agree to call her a ‘victim claimant’ instead of a ‘victim’ if their own daughter had been a victim of sexual crime? Their perspective, which lacks common sense and conscience and views even clear issues politically, is shocking beyond words.”

They further stated, “We demand that the female Democratic Party lawmakers clarify whether they still consider the victim of former Mayor Park’s sexual crime as a ‘victim claimant’ and sincerely apologize to the victim,” and said, “Also, reveal whether there was prior consultation with the Blue House during the process of discussing whether to refer to the victim as a ‘victim claimant.’”
