[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] Park Chandae, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized Kim Gunhee, wife of Yoon Seokyeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, saying she resembled the female protagonist of the movie "Helpless," who lived a life borrowed from others and met a tragic end.

On the 9th, at the National Assembly plenary session, Park mentioned Kim's false career records and stock manipulation allegations, pointing out, "It was truly a record of 'fake life' that robbed others of their opportunities, just like the protagonist of the movie 'Helpless.'"

He explained the movie's plot, saying, "'Helpless,' released in 2012, depicts the story of a person who lived a fake life. The protagonist, Cha Kyung-sun, kills an unrelated person to escape a painful life and lives under someone else's name to start anew."

He continued, "She continued living that fake life but eventually met a tragic end. People sometimes envy or admire those whose lives seem better than their own. However, it is rare for envy or admiration to go so far as to rob others of their opportunities or lives," he said.

He then targeted Kim, saying, "A person who has lived a fake life by stealing others' opportunities is drawing public attention. This is the story of Yoon Seokyeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate's wife."

Park listed the allegations against Kim, including false career and academic records and participation in government-supported projects, stating, "Kim's false career is not just an untruthful record but an illegal act that actually affected fair competition."

He criticized Yoon, saying, "Although his wife has unfairly taken many others' opportunities, Yoon Seokyeol, who constantly preaches fairness, consistently feigns ignorance regarding the various allegations related to his wife."

He added, "The president's wife is not only assigned staff and budget from the Blue House Secretariat but also represents the nation on foreign trips and conducts diplomacy as an important public figure," urging, "Many citizens are questioning the truth behind the fake life controversy of a leading presidential candidate's wife. They demand an answer about which life is the real Kim Gunhee's."

Meanwhile, Kim is under suspicion of having submitted false career and academic records on resumes to a total of five universities: Hallym Sacred Heart University, Seoil University, Anyang University, Suwon Women's University, and Kookmin University.
