[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Gyumin] Jang Kyung-tae, a Supreme Council member of the Democratic Party of Korea, who raised suspicions that First Lady Kim Keon-hee used lighting for photography when visiting children with heart disease in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, has been accused.


On the morning of the 22nd, Lee Jong-bae, a Seoul city council member from the People Power Party, held a press conference in front of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency and stated, "The claim that lighting was even installed during the diplomatic visit is a clear falsehood," announcing that he would file a complaint against Supreme Council member Jang for defamation by spreading false information under the Information and Communications Network Act.


Lee said, "(Supreme Council member Jang) attacked by assuming an unidentified post as an established fact without verification, which is a clear act of spreading false information and a despicable personal attack crime," and added, "Due to the Democratic Party's barbaric attacks, the national dignity is being damaged, and First Lady Kim's human rights and dignity are being brutally trampled upon. We ask for severe punishment to prevent recurrence."


On the 18th, Supreme Council member Jang stated at the party's Supreme Council meeting, "Foreign media and experts analyze that the photos of First Lady Kim were not taken naturally during volunteer activities but were taken with at least two to three lights installed, effectively setting up an on-site studio."



Meanwhile, Kang Shin-up, a lawyer who was the president of the First Lady Kim's fan club 'Geonhee Sarang,' and the Presidential Office filed complaints against Supreme Council member Jang on the 21st and 22nd respectively, accusing him of spreading false information related to First Lady Kim.
