[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Jang Hye-young, a Justice Party lawmaker, raised her voice saying, "One cannot help but become a feminist," referring to recent crimes against women.

In a post on Facebook on the 20th, Jang said, "The horrific deaths of women murdered simply for saying they wanted to break up are being reported daily. Such murders are continuously on the rise."

Referring to the incident on the 17th where a man in his 30s, enraged by his ex-girlfriend's breakup notice, stabbed her with a weapon and then threw her out of the balcony of a 19th-floor apartment, she said, "In a world where women are stabbed for giving a breakup notice and pushed to their deaths from the 19th floor, how can women not become feminists?"

She then shared an article that explicitly called the incident an "apartment murder," pointing out, "The name of this crime is not 'apartment murder' but 'dating murder.' Please do not obscure the essence."

Jang also expressed, "I pray for the souls of the women who ended their lives in extreme fear and pain, and I am angry at all those who neglect and even encourage such a society," emphasizing, "Do you dislike feminism? Then do not kill women. Take the lead in ensuring women's safety."
