On the 27th, former lawmaker Son posted on her Facebook page a photo from Kim's public apology press conference along with the question, "What do you all think?"

Regarding Kim's expression in the photo, she said, "As soon as she came out to apologize, she had this 'bashishi' smile," adding, "I found it absurd; did I say something wrong?" She further questioned, "Was this expression appropriate for the occasion, and did the sincerity of the apology come across?"

On the previous day (26th), former lawmaker Son also shared a photo of Kim, criticizing, "With heavily flushed makeup and a fleeting bashishi smile, is this the appearance of an apology?"

In response to Son's criticism, a netizen commented, "Capturing a video and judging or making others judge based on a 1/30th of a second image is unlike you, Representative Son," adding, "It reveals arbitrariness in the choice. Just honestly say you dislike and hate Kim Gun-hee."

Former lawmaker Son replied directly, "That brief moment showed this smiling expression multiple times. Everyone must have seen it," she wrote.

Meanwhile, on the 8th, former lawmaker Son also sparked controversy by posting about Kim's appearance. She posted past and recent photos of Kim, writing, "I already knew her face had changed, but looking closely, her pupils have become very large."

In the comments, Jin Hyewon, Deputy Chief Prosecutor of Ansan Branch, wrote, "The shape of the lips is distinct, and the lower lip is turned outward," adding, "The lower jaw protrudes slightly forward, which I think is a good example of cosmetic surgery that enhances feminine charm and self-esteem."

As controversy arose, on the 13th, former lawmaker Son shared Kim's photos again, writing, "I was just amazed by the enlarged pupils."
