View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Choyoung] Former Saenuri Party (predecessor of the People Power Party) lawmaker Jeon Yeok criticized the 'Julie mural' containing defamatory content about Kim Gunhee, wife of former Prosecutor General Yoon Seokyeol, on the 29th, saying, "It is a clear crime to assassinate a woman's character in this way."
Former lawmaker Jeon said on her blog that day, "If former Prosecutor General Yoon is hateful, why insult his wife Kim? It is truly a mean, shameful, and vulgar act."
She pointed out, "Kim said she doesn't even have time for 'Julie.' Then, should the 'Julies' of this Republic of Korea never become First Ladies? Should women who serve drinks at bars become 'zombies' who live quietly and hide?"
She then referred to the late former President Roh Moo-hyun's wife, Kwon Yangsook, saying, "Her father killed 11 innocent civilians. So why was she silent then? Isn't it worse for the daughter of a murderer to become the First Lady?"
Regarding the cohabitation report by Open Sympathy TV, she said, "They led a 94-year-old elderly person with suggestive questions and claimed to have confirmed the 'Julie cohabitation rumor.' If they wanted to do an interview, they should have done it with lawyer Yang, and if they wanted to paint a mural, they should have painted former Prosecutor General Yoon's image," emphasizing her point.
She concluded her post by saying, "What is the Ministry of Gender Equality doing? Where are the numerous women's organizations? This country, where monsters disguised as humans cling like zombies, is chilling."
