Seo Byung-su: "Kim Yeon-ju is just 'Kim Yeon-ju'... No reason to be introduced as Lim Baek-cheon's wife"

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Seo Byung-soo, a member of the People Power Party, criticized the trend of introducing former announcer Kim Yeon-joo, who advanced to the finals of "I am a National Representative," as "the wife of broadcaster Im Baek-cheon."

On the 1st, Seo said through social media (SNS), "Kim Yeon-joo is simply 'Kim Yeon-joo,'" adding, "Kim Yeon-joo participated in the People Power Party spokesperson selection debate battle and was selected as a spokesperson for the People Power Party yesterday. However, many media outlets are introducing Kim Yeon-joo as 'the wife of broadcaster Im Baek-cheon.'"

He questioned, "Did Kim Yeon-joo receive any help from her husband during the battle process to become a spokesperson for the People Power Party?" and criticized, "Why is she introduced as 'the wife of broadcaster Im Baek-cheon'?" He continued, "What kind of 'fairness' is this?" and stated, "Privately, she may be 'the wife of broadcaster Im Baek-cheon,' but publicly, Kim Yeon-joo is 'former announcer Kim Yeon-joo.' This is fairness."
