[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Kwon Seong-dong, a member of the People Power Party, fiercely criticized Jeon Hyun-hee, Chairperson of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, who had previously visited the late Mayor Park Won-soon's funeral and expressed her respect, saying, "While feeling sexual shame over the criticism of 'being clingy,' was the person accused of sexual crimes capable of 'respect'?"

On the 26th, Kwon said through social networking services (SNS), "Is this really something the head of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission should say?"

On the same day, Chairperson Jeon held a briefing regarding the Board of Audit and Inspection's request for a prosecution investigation, calling it a "targeted and illegal audit" and claiming, "It is a clear political persecution aimed at forcing the resignation of the Chairperson of the Anti-Corruption Commission and an abuse of authority."

In response, Kwon said, "Chairperson Jeon was involved in the process where the audit concluded that a Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries official had defected to the North, and also forced Anti-Corruption Commission employees to give false statements denying her involvement," adding, "It is said that in September 2020, she also inappropriately interfered in the Commission's legal interpretation process regarding the military privilege allegations involving the son of then Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae. In other words, holding the title of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, she played the role of the 'Regime Interest Commission.'"

He continued, "(Chairperson Jeon) raises her voice claiming the Board of Audit and Inspection compromised political neutrality, but the 'neutrality violation' she shouts about is exactly for situations like this," and said, "Please do not waste the Commission's administrative power to explain your own allegations and resign."

Kwon also raised his voice, saying, "The Moon Jae-in administration appointed former activists as National Intelligence Service executives and anti-nuclear activists as heads of nuclear-related institutions. These were truly disastrous appointments that oppressed the Republic of Korea," and added, "Such people must step down." Earlier, during a national audit, he sparked controversy by urging Kim Je-nam, Chairman of the Nuclear Safety Foundation, to resign, saying, "You might as well bite your tongue and die."
