As a documentary defending former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon is about to be released, former Democratic Party emergency committee chairperson Park Ji-hyun announced that she will hold a forum to discuss the issue of power-based sexual crimes, stating that "the Democratic Party still has not eradicated power-based sexual crimes."


On the 26th, Park, through her social media (SNS), shared a poster for the 'Power-Based Sexual Crimes' forum to be held at the National Assembly Members' Office Building on the 5th of next month, saying, "Ahead of the third anniversary of former Mayor Park, there was news that a documentary glorifying his sexual violence would be released. However, no one in the Democratic Party criticizes it."

She raised her voice, saying, "The Democratic Party has already lost much public trust due to power-based sexual crimes committed by local government heads, but it still has not eradicated power-based sexual crimes. The successive power-based sexual crimes are a shameful mistake of our party," adding, "We failed to protect our colleagues who worked diligently with good intentions in local governments and the National Assembly from sexual violence, and most victims still have not been able to return to their daily lives."



Former emergency committee chairperson Park stated, "We must reflect on our party's painful mistakes and find alternatives," and said, "I hope those of you who want to create a 'Democratic Party safe from power-based sexual crimes' will come together and share your wisdom."
