[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Juhyung] Yoon Mee-hyang, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, has denied allegations that she forced Gil Won-ok, a victim of the Japanese military sexual slavery, to continue her European schedule despite being injured in 2017, calling them "false information."

On the 4th, Yoon wrote on her Facebook, "Immediately stop spreading malicious false information such as 'making a grandmother with broken ribs sing,'" and began by saying, "Gil Won-ok visited Germany from December 1 to 6, 2017, for the 10th anniversary campaign of the European Union Parliament resolution adoption."

She continued, "At the event, she attended the 10th anniversary ceremony and conference commemorating the EU resolution adoption, spoke, and carried out activities such as delivering the Butterfly Fund for refugee women," adding, "At the event she attended, she also said, 'Like myself who fulfilled my dream of becoming a singer at 90, please do not lose hope,' and sang."

She emphasized, "At that time, Grandma Gil confidently spoke and sang as an activist, and there were no symptoms or circumstances suggesting a rib fracture during her visit to Germany."

Yoon explained, "She mentioned feeling chest pain after returning to Korea, and efforts were made for her diagnosis and recovery, including visiting a hospital for treatment," adding, "She later recovered her health."

Earlier, Yeo Myung-sook, former member of the Game Management Committee, claimed on her YouTube channel on the 3rd that "Grandma Gil broke her ribs after going to Europe with Yoon in 2017 and returned to Korea."

In the video, Yeo also revealed Gil’s medical benefit records from December 2017. On the 8th of the same month, Gil received treatment at a hospital, and the diagnosis was "sprain and strain of the ribs."

The next day (9th), Gil visited a large hospital in Jongno-gu, Seoul, for a re-examination. She was diagnosed with "multiple fractures involving four or more ribs" at this hospital. In other words, she sustained injuries with broken ribs. It is reported that Gil was hospitalized and treated afterward.

Gil visited Europe from November 30 to December 7, 2017, including attending an event in Berlin, Germany, before receiving the fracture diagnosis.

Regarding this, former member Yeo claimed, "Yoon took Grandma Gil around Europe with broken ribs at the end of 2017."

However, it is difficult to accurately determine whether Gil’s ribs were broken before returning to Korea from Europe based solely on the materials presented by former member Yeo.
