Regarding 'UN Impersonation' Claims... Park Suhyun: "No Matter How Urgent the Election Is"

"An Act That Tramples on South Korea's National Interest"
Ha Tae-kyung: "Pretending to Be a Subsidiary Organization Without a Basic Agreement with the UN-Habitat Headquarters"

Park Soo-hyun, former Blue House Senior Secretary for Public Communication and the inaugural chairman of the nonprofit corporation 'UN-Habitat Korea Committee (hereinafter Habitat),' announced that he will take legal action in response to the ruling party's claim that Habitat collected over 4 billion won in donations by impersonating a UN-affiliated organization, calling it "election season tactics."

On the 17th, Park posted on his social media, "After seeing yesterday's so-called 'People Power Party Civil Society Organization Advancement Special Committee' announcement and some media reports, the thought that came to mind was 'divine punishment.'"

He said, "I have an idea and am certain about who and why someone would do such a thing. Also, it is election season," adding, "No matter how urgent the election is, is it necessary to ruthlessly trample on South Korea's national interest, the housing of ordinary citizens, and the dreams of youth just to catch one person, Park Soo-hyun?"

Park further stated, "The events you have seen many times will now unfold in order. So-called conservative groups will accuse me, the prosecution will summon me, and I will be put on the photo line," and warned, "Do they think they will win the election by doing that? I am announcing strong legal countermeasures."

The day before, the People Power Party Civil Society Organization Advancement Special Committee claimed that Habitat impersonated a UN-affiliated agency and collected 4 billion won in donations. Ha Tae-kyung, the committee chairman, said, "They pretended to be a subordinate organization without any basic agreement with the UN-Habitat headquarters and received 4.4 billion won in donations over the past four years through this," adding, "When the organization was launched, former President Moon Jae-in sent a congratulatory message saying, 'The first single national committee of UN-Habitat was born in Korea,' but even former President Moon was deceived."
