[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Female members of the People Power Party stated on the 6th that “Assemblywoman Nam In-soon of the Democratic Party of Korea is an accomplice in the power-based sexual crimes committed by the late Park Won-soon, former Mayor of Seoul,” and added, “She no longer has the right to represent the people. We urge her to immediately resign from her position and offer a sincere apology to the victims.”

They held a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Office on the same day, saying, “The disgraceful true face of Assemblywoman Nam, who claimed to be a leading figure in the women’s movement, has been revealed,” and “Yesterday, six days after allegations of the leak of the sexual harassment accusation against former Mayor Park surfaced, Assemblywoman Nam issued a statement. It was nothing more than a disgraceful wordplay and excuse so pitiful that even calling it pathetic would be an understatement.”

They continued, “It is shameful as fellow women to have expected even a trace of reflection or apology from Assemblywoman Nam, who has enjoyed wealth and fame by exploiting ‘women’,” and “What Assemblywoman Nam was concerned about was not the sexual harassment victim but the perpetrator. Claiming to be a leading figure in the women’s movement, she sided with the perpetrator in the power-based sexual crime case and acted systematically with her former aide, Gender Special Advisor Lim Soon-young, to protect the perpetrator. And now, all she says is an excuse that ‘I am not guilty.’”

They added, “Whether it is Democratic Party Assemblywoman Yoon Mee-hyang, who exploited comfort women grandmothers, or Assemblywoman Nam, who exploited women, it is the same story. We hope they no longer tarnish the name of women,” and “We also urge the Democratic Party to stop hiding and covering for Assemblywomen Nam and Yoon, and to openly disclose a responsible and clear stance as a political party before the public.”
