[Asia Economy Reporter Jumi Lee] Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party candidate for Seoul mayor, sharply criticized former presidential chief of staff Im Jong-seok, who described former Seoul mayor Park Won-soon as "the most honest public official," saying it "blatantly revealed the crude gender sensitivity of left-wing activist forces."


On the 23rd, Oh criticized on his Facebook, "Only six days after the sexual harassment victim of former Mayor Park Won-soon held a press conference expressing fear and pain, former Chief of Staff Im Jong-seok committed another blatant secondary harm."


Oh pointed out, "Former Chief Im said, 'Whenever I pass through various parts of Seoul, I feel Park Won-soon's presence. I wish Park Won-soon's full name was modestly engraved on a bench in the forest of Yongsan Park,'" adding, "This is a cruel secondary harm to the victim following former preliminary candidate Woo Sang-ho, who said Park Won-soon was his role model and that he would carry on his legacy."


He continued, "Why did former Chief Im Jong-seok post a message defending former Mayor Park Won-soon precisely today (the 23rd), when the unified opposition candidate was decided?" and claimed, "As the Seoul mayoral election looks increasingly bleak, following former leader Lee Hae-chan, former Chief Im is also mobilizing the hardline support base to consolidate the core supporters."



He then condemned, "Still, this is unacceptable," saying, "You people, who turn a blind eye to the victim's pain and repeatedly inflict secondary harm for the sake of election victory for which you should apologize and take responsibility, are truly despicable."
