Seomin Minsheng Countermeasures Committee Files Complaint with Seoul Police
'Namdaemun Police Station' Assigned

[Asia Economy Reporter Gong Byung-sun] The police have launched an investigation into Lee Sang-hoon, a Seoul city council member from the Democratic Party of Korea, who sparked controversy by saying about Jeon Ju-hwan, the suspect in the Sindang Station stalking murder case, "He seemed to have responded violently because he liked her but she did not accept him."

On the 22nd, according to the police, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency assigned the case, in which the Committee for the Protection of the Common People and Livelihoods filed a defamation complaint against the council member, to the Namdaemun Police Station in Seoul.

Earlier, on the 16th, during a city council plenary session, Lee mentioned the Sindang Station stalking murder case while making remarks emphasizing the need to actively protect employees who handle civil complaints at Seoul city and various public offices.

In response, the Committee for the Protection of the Common People and Livelihoods stated, "His absurd and reckless remarks ignored the victim's suffering and inflicted further wounds on the bereaved family," and filed a complaint against the council member with the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
