[Asia Economy Reporter Hana Na] The son of a Korean American victim who lost his life in the Atlanta shooting incident expressed anger in an interview, responding to the suspect's claim of a "sex-related crime" by asking, "Is it okay if I curse?"

Randy Park (23), the eldest son of Kim Hyun-jung, a victim who was raising her child alone in a foreign country, gave an interview to MBC on the 20th. After hearing the claim from the 20-something white male suspect that sex addiction was the cause of the shooting, Park spoke in halting Korean to reporters, asking, "Is it okay if I curse?"

When the reporters asked him to hold back his curses, he rebutted the suspect's claim by saying, "I think it's too much to say it's a coincidence that the three targeted locations were mainly Asian areas and that most of the victims were Asian."

Earlier, on the 16th, a shooting incident occurred in the Atlanta area of Georgia, USA, resulting in the deaths of eight people, including six Asian women and four Korean Americans.

Meanwhile, Park, worried about immediate expenses such as rent, posted a fundraising message on the online crowdfunding site 'GoFundMe' on the 20th, setting a goal of ten thousand dollars (22 million won). The fundraiser collected $2.59 million, approximately 2.9 billion won, in just one day.

He stated that he had no time to grieve over the death of his single mother, who devoted her life to raising her two sons, and started the fundraiser to find a way to live with his younger sibling.
