Minjoo, Party Member Ethics Inspection for 'Criticism of Park Ji-hyun'... Lee Jae-myung Urges Restraint in Criticism
[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Tae-min] On the 8th, the Democratic Party of Korea decided to refer the case of a YouTuber, known as a party member, who repeatedly broadcasted criticisms in front of the former co-chair of the Emergency Committee Park Ji-hyun's residence, to the party's Ethics Inspection Team.
Shin Hyun-young, the party spokesperson, stated this during a briefing after the Emergency Committee meeting in the morning, explaining, "We judged that a party-level fact-finding investigation and appropriate response are necessary." Shin added, "There is an issue of doxxing against former Emergency Committee Chair Park Ji-hyun online," and said, "We take this matter seriously and will respond in principle."
Senior Advisor Lee Jae-myung said, "Former Chair Park played a significant role in informing the public of the Democratic Party's values and expanding the party's base. She is an important asset to our party with great potential," adding, "Criticizing and suppressing someone just because their thoughts differ or they do not meet expectations is not the way of Lee Jae-myung and comrades." He also said, "I am also attentively listening to Chair Park's wise opinions," and quoted the saying "Uhujisil (The ground hardens after rain)." He concluded, "We have been through the rain together and will bear fruit together."
Gang Hoon-sik, a candidate for party leadership, also criticized the YouTube broadcast on Facebook, emphasizing, "Party-level measures are necessary to stop violence against young female politicians." Gang said, "Former Emergency Committee Chair Park, who was active in the 'Nth Room' investigation group Bulkkot, hesitated even to remove her mask at first," and stated, "Cyberbullying and various forms of violence against female politicians must stop immediately."
