Choiganguk's 'Amkeot' Slur Sparks Outcry from Bimyeong Faction... "Strict Disciplinary Action Must Begin"

Former Democratic Party lawmaker Choi Kang-wook, who recently sparked controversy by harshly criticizing the Yoon Seok-yeol administration at a book concert and using the expression "설치는 암컷" (literally "the one causing trouble is a female"), has drawn a response from the non-mainstream faction group 'Principles and Common Sense.'

On the 21st, Democratic Party lawmaker Yoon Young-chan posted on his social media (SNS) under the name of 'Principles and Common Sense' an article titled "The Result of the Democratic Party's Moral Insensitivity, Choi Kang-wook's Abusive Language. Will We Leave It As Is?" He pointed out, "Following the past 'ㅉㅉ이' remark, the continued abusive language by former lawmaker Choi and the fact that none of our lawmakers on site could stop him clearly demonstrated our party's loss of morality and regression in gender sensitivity."

He said, "The problem is that the Democratic Party's loss of morality has become entrenched in the party's system," adding, "Former lawmaker Choi appealed the party's disciplinary action against his 'ㅉㅉ이' remark from June last year. However, the party's Ethics Committee has yet to reach any conclusion even though Choi has been stripped of his lawmaker position."

He continued, "When Choi's (female) remark became known, Secretary-General Cho Jung-sik quickly issued a warning, but considering the Ethics Committee's prolonged delay in disciplinary action since the 'ㅉㅉ이' remark, this does not appear to be a sincere warning," and criticized, "It only seems like a desperate attempt to quickly resolve the controversy ahead of the general election."

Yoon stated, "Even now, the party's Ethics Committee must conclude the disciplinary rehearing for former lawmaker Choi and initiate strict disciplinary procedures regarding the 'female' remark as a former member of the Democratic Party," emphasizing, "We must now stop actions that damage the party's image and disappoint the public through abusive language controversies."
