[Asia Economy Reporter Joo-mi Lee] Jo Su-jin, a member of the People Power Party, raised her voice saying that the departure of Democratic Party lawmakers Nam In-soon, Jin Sun-mi, and Go Min-jung, who were embroiled in the 'Three Complainants' controversy, from Park Young-sun's Democratic Party Seoul mayoral campaign is "not the end. It must never be the end."

On the 18th, Jo stated on Facebook, "This election is a by-election held because of former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon, so their participation in the campaign was never acceptable from the start," and argued, "Their departure from the campaign should not be just a way to temporarily avoid the pouring rain."

She went on to criticize the ruling party lawmakers' remarks regarding the former mayor's sexual harassment case, saying, "The ruling party's collective 'secondary victimization' is ongoing."

She pointed out, "Immediately after former Mayor Park's death, the Democratic Party hung banners all over Seoul saying 'We will remember Im (Park Won-soon's) will.' Democratic Party female lawmakers, led by the three, vilified the victim with the bizarre term 'complainants,' encouraging secondary victimization. Lawmaker Kim Jin-ae said, 'Park Won-soon's legacy is brilliant.'"

She added, "Power-based sexual violence and secondary victimization must never be tolerated. This is an issue concerning women, women's rights, and socially vulnerable groups," emphasizing, "The 'camp departure' of the three leading 'complainants' is not the end. It must be a new beginning."
