[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] Go Min-jung, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, has once again demanded an apology from Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, regarding the sexually harassing remarks made by Choi In-ho, a participant in the People Power Party spokesperson selection debate battle "I am the National Representative."


On the 1st, Go posted on her Facebook, stating, "I do not think Leader Lee, like Choi who appeared in the debate battle, is unaware of what was wrong with the remarks."


Go pointed out, "Even People Power Party officials said the remarks were inappropriate," adding, "If women are regarded as members of the same society, I thought the leader of the main opposition party would at least say a word about Choi's remarks."


She continued, "Unlike existing politicians, I expected him to show that level of coolness, but perhaps my expectations were too high. I hope at least the minimum ethics toward each other are observed."

Earlier, on the 29th of last month, Go also shared related articles on Facebook, urging a party-level apology, saying, "I am curious about what judgment Leader Lee will make."


Meanwhile, Choi, who became the center of controversy, posted a sexually harassing comment in March about a photo of Go sleeping with her head down on a desk, calling it "a sleeping posture learned from President Moon Jae-in."



Regarding this, on the 29th, Choi shared an interview article with a media outlet on his Facebook, explaining, "Ordinary and common-sense people recall President Moon's sleeping habits," and "Since President Moon sleeps so much, the post criticized Go, who learned from President Moon by watching him from below, for just sleeping and putting on a show during the election campaign period."
