[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Oh Young-hwan and Lee Su-jin have been appointed as the new floor spokespersons of the Democratic Party of Korea.

On the 27th, Floor Leader Park Hong-geun held a press conference at the National Assembly to announce these appointments. Oh Young-hwan, a first-term lawmaker and former firefighter, was active in former party leader Lee Nak-yeon's presidential campaign during last year's Democratic Party primary. Lee Su-jin, a proportional representative and former chairperson of the Korean Federation of Trade Unions Medical Industry Union, is classified as a labor and healthcare sector figure.

Ko Min-jung, a former Blue House spokesperson, has been nominated as the strategic deputy floor leader. She is a figure from the Moon Jae-in administration, following Jin Seong-jun, a Park Won-soon faction member appointed as the senior deputy floor leader.

Ko was criticized in 2020 for using the term "victim complainant" in the Democratic Party female lawmakers' group chat regarding the sexual violence victim when former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon passed away.

Park Hong-geun, who is also from the Park Won-soon faction and serves as the floor leader, faced controversy for using the same expression while serving as co-executive director of the late Mayor Park's funeral committee.
