"Seoul City Councilor Jeong Jin-sul Should Apologize to Seoul Citizens and Resign"

"Jeong Jin-sul, who tried to cover the sky with his palm, should apologize to the citizens of Seoul and resign"

Ok Jae-eun, spokesperson for the People Power Party in the Seoul Metropolitan Council, made this claim in a statement on the 26th

It was revealed on the 26th through an online media report that Jeong Jin-sul, former floor leader of the Democratic Party in the Seoul Metropolitan Council, was expelled from the Democratic Party.

Accordingly, Ok Jae-eun, spokesperson for the People Power Party in the Seoul Metropolitan Council, issued a statement on the same day saying, "According to the decision document of the Democratic Party’s Ethics Tribunal reported, it was confirmed that Jeong Jin-sul was expelled for reasons including ▲the inappropriate timing (during the strengthened social distancing period) and location of first meeting with the other woman ▲repeated incidents of extramarital pregnancy, abortion, and miscarriage ▲ongoing conflicts between the parties involving mutual assault, verbal abuse, and repeated agreements ▲and the high ethical standards required as a National Assembly aide and Seoul Metropolitan Council member."

Spokesperson Ok criticized, "After being expelled from the Democratic Party, when Jeong Jin-sul was to be investigated by the Seoul Metropolitan Council’s Ethics Special Committee, he completely denied the allegations and concealed the Ethics Tribunal decision document containing the reasons for his expulsion to make it unreadable before submitting it to the committee, thereby undermining the Ethics Special Committee’s investigation. He cunningly evaded the rightful questions from the citizens of Seoul regarding his allegations."

He added, "However, just as one cannot cover the sky with a palm, Jeong Jin-sul’s misconduct was eventually revealed, causing great disappointment and an indelible shame to the ten million citizens of Seoul."

Jeong Jin-sul no longer has the qualification to represent the citizens of Seoul. The People Power Party officially demands of Jeong Jin-sul: "Apologize for your wrongdoing before the ten million citizens of Seoul and resign voluntarily by the end of this Seoul Metropolitan Council regular session. That is the attitude of taking responsibility and the minimum duty to the citizens of Seoul." He further stated, "If he does not resign voluntarily, our People Power Party will demand his expulsion."

He concluded, "We also urge the Democratic Party in the Seoul Metropolitan Council to stop protecting their own members and join in respecting the will of the citizens of Seoul."
