The disciplinary level is expected to be determined soon based on the investigation results.

A put his urine in a juice bottle and placed it in the dishwashing tub used by employees, shocking the staff. The victim expressed feeling sexual humiliation due to his bizarre behavior.

Also, A forced employees who came to report to "take off your mask and report, or go outside the door and speak loudly," compelling them to remove their masks.

A denied the sexual harassment allegations, claiming he collected urine to check his health condition. He explained, "I was sick that week," and "I was checking if any foreign substances came out (in the urine)."

He also said, "The Legislative Research Office is a place where even asking a secretary to fix a shirt collar is considered sexual harassment."

Regarding the verbal abuse allegations, A argued, "The employee worked for a year but only achieved 70%, and thought that was acceptable," and "It is natural to tell them to get their act together."

He added, "I don't think there will be any disciplinary action against me."

Meanwhile, the Secretary-General of the National Assembly stated, "The related investigation is practically over," and "After reviewing the investigation contents, we plan to notify the Legislative Research Office and convene a disciplinary committee."
