[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] Nam Insoon, Jin Sunmi, and Go Minjung, members of the Democratic Party of Korea who stepped down from Park Young-sun's Seoul mayoral campaign after it was revealed that they led the effort to refer to the late former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon's sexual harassment victim as a 'complainant,' have made a final appeal for support for Park.

On the 6th, a day before the election, Nam posted on Facebook, "Over the past two weeks, I too have been appealing for support for candidate Park Young-sun in Songpa, deeply feeling the earnest hearts of our candlelight citizens," adding, "Now, the only answer is voting. I earnestly ask for your support."

She continued, "Who truly qualifies as a mayor for the people's livelihood?" and emphasized, "Only candidate number 1, Park Young-sun, who has already proven her sincerity and capability, can be the mayor who works for the lives of all Seoul citizens."

On the 7th, Jin also posted on Facebook, "The day of victory has dawned," asking, "What kind of position is the mayor of Seoul? It is a position that manages an enormous budget exceeding 40 trillion won. Who can handle that?"

She raised her voice, saying, "The mayor of Seoul must be a prepared worker with proven ability and competence over a long time. They must have a broad heart to care for the socially vulnerable and marginalized neighbors. We support Park Young-sun! We stand with Jin Sunmi!"

On the same day, Go recalled the exhausting days of campaigning on Facebook, saying, "I ran tirelessly. On rainy days, I stood in the rain; when I lost my voice, I used my two feet..."

She added, "I went through every alley in Gwangjin, meeting residents from dawn till late at night on foot, by campaign vehicle, and by phone, meeting again and again," and shared, "Honestly, neither my body nor my heart is intact." Nevertheless, she said, "I have no regrets because I did my best," and added, "I love you! #WeDoParkYoungSun."

Earlier, the three lawmakers were criticized by public opinion as the so-called 'complainant trio' after it was revealed that they led the effort to refer to the victim of former Mayor Park's sexual harassment case as a 'complainant.'

They supported the election campaign as the campaign headquarters chief and spokesperson for Park's campaign but collectively resigned from the campaign on the 17th of last month after the victim held a press conference complaining of 'secondary damage,' which sparked strong national criticism.
