[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, said, "The title really grabs me," after seeing the webtoon 'Office Nuna Story.' In response, actress Kim Bu-seon, who claims to have been in a past romantic relationship with Lee, said, "You pervert. Have you forgotten the Oksoo-dong nuna?"

On the morning of the 4th, Kim shared an article about Lee's comment on 'Office Nuna Story' on her Facebook and mentioned the candidate.

Earlier, on the 3rd, Lee visited the '3B2S' webtoon studio in Bucheon Techno Valley, Gyeonggi Province. While looking around the framed webtoon works displayed in the studio office, he stopped in front of a work titled 'Office Nuna Story' and said, "Office nuna? The title really grabs me." When a studio official replied, "It's not adult content," Lee reportedly smiled.

Actor Kim Bu-seon mentioned Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate who is embroiled in controversy over his 'Office Noona' remark, on her Facebook on the 4th.

Regarding this remark, the opposition party pointed out Lee's issues with sexual sensitivity. Yoon Young-hee, deputy spokesperson of the People's Party, issued a statement the same day, saying, "What kind of things happen in Lee Jae-myung's office space that make him say he is 'really grabbed' by a title like Office Nuna? The public cannot understand."

Yoon added, "People see what matches their level. Due to Lee's unconscious language, the viewing rating for news desks may have to be raised to 19+ in the future," and strongly criticized, "The candidate's low sexual sensitivity was proven even before the pants incident at the presidential debate stage, but it is uncertain how much further he will prove the cheapness of his character and manners."

Meanwhile, Kim claims to have been in a past romantic relationship with Lee, but Lee has denied the relationship, filing a criminal complaint against Kim for spreading false information. In response, in September 2018, Kim filed a lawsuit seeking 300 million KRW in damages, hiring lawyer Kang Yong-seok, claiming that Lee had labeled her as a pathological liar, causing her mental and financial harm.
