[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] The family of the late Park Won-soon, former mayor of Seoul, filed a defamation lawsuit on the 9th against former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon and a reporter from daily newspaper A, who mentioned that Park sexually harassed someone.

Jung Cheol-seung, the legal representative for the family, announced that he filed defamation charges against former professor Jin at Seocho Police Station and against the reporter at Mapo Police Station on the same day. The complainant is Kang Nan-hee, the wife of the late mayor Park.

On the 3rd, former professor Jin posted an article reporting on a social media post by lawyer Jung stating, "There is no Korean man who surpasses former Mayor Park's gender sensitivity," and wrote, "Most men, whether sensitive or not, do not commit sexual harassment." Reporter A wrote in an online article on the 25th of last month, "Former Mayor Park committed sexual violence against a secretary office employee, and when this fact was about to be revealed, he made an extreme choice. The perpetrator has been clearly identified, and the acts are known."

Lawyer Jung also serves as the plaintiff's representative in the administrative lawsuit filed by the family of former Mayor Park against the National Human Rights Commission in April.
