With "Kim Geon-hee should thank the Michael Jackson comparison," Lee Jun-seok says "Find your reason"

Controversy Over An Chi-hwan's New Song 'Michael Jackson-eul Dalmeun Yeoin'

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, criticized the Democratic Party of Korea's remark that Kim Gun-hee, spouse of People Power Party candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, should be thankful for being compared to Michael Jackson, saying "She needs to regain her sanity."

On the same day, Lee posted on his Facebook, "It seems the Democratic Party is now resorting to judging women's appearances in the election," expressing his view.

Earlier, Lee Kyung, spokesperson for the Democratic Party's election committee, appeared on 'No Young-hee's News Is It' on the 15th and said, "Being compared to Michael Jackson is something Kim Gun-hee should actually be more thankful for," adding, "Also, her career and academic background are all fabricated, and she has had plastic surgery," which sparked controversy.

The controversy over comparing Kim to Michael Jackson began when singer Ahn Chi-hwan released his new song 'A Woman Who Resembles Michael Jackson.' The song repeatedly uses the word 'geoni' in phrases like 'Why are you doing that? What are you after? You should know yourself! What are you trying to do?' which some claim resembles Kim's name 'Gun-hee.'

The People Power Party immediately pushed back. Kim Yong-tae, the party's youth supreme council member, wrote on his Facebook, "I am filled with anger at the hypocritical attitude of the Democratic Party, which has long advocated for women's rights advancement," urging, "Spokesperson Lee Kyung should apologize for today's remarks." Shin In-kyu, the full-time deputy spokesperson, also said, "The bizarre logic of expecting gratitude instead of remorse for wrongdoing is similar to the forces that embezzled 1 trillion won in Daejang-dong and disguised it as an exemplary administrative case," adding, "The Democratic Party, which tramples on an individual's human rights, will no longer be trusted when it talks about human rights."
