"Assemblyman Yoon Seungoh Verbally Abuses Public Official Over Omitted Introduction at Event"... Democratic Party Gyeongbuk Committee Urges Disciplinary Action

On November 26, the Democratic Party Gyeongbuk Provincial Party Committee revealed, "Yoon Seungoh, a Gyeongbuk Provincial Council member from Yeongcheon affiliated with the People Power Party, repeatedly engaged in abusive behavior and verbal harassment toward public officials."

The Democratic Party Gyeongbuk Provincial Party Committee stated in a commentary released that day, "At the Volunteer Conference hosted by Gyeongbuk Province at Yeongcheon Indoor Gymnasium on November 18, Assemblyman Yoon Seungoh reportedly shouted at and hurled insults at a female public official over the omission of his introduction and changes to the order of congratulatory remarks. Witnesses even claimed that he made threatening gestures by raising his hand."

The Democratic Party Gyeongbuk Provincial Party Committee continued, "The fact that the victimized public officials are undergoing treatment for severe psychological shock and trauma is not merely a personal deviation, but a serious issue that shakes the very foundation of the public service sector and gravely undermines the dignity of local councils. Such actions can never be overlooked."

According to the Democratic Party Gyeongbuk Provincial Party Committee, Assemblyman Yoon Seungoh's abusive language and power harassment are not isolated incidents. On March 25, at the completion ceremony for the Yeongcheon Intelligent IoT Component Center, attended by more than 150 residents including Choi Kimoon, the independent mayor of Yeongcheon, the Gyeongbuk Meta AI Science Bureau Chief, the President of Gyeongbuk Technopark, and corporate representatives, he verbally abused and harassed a provincial government official because he was not allowed to give a congratulatory address. On March 30, there was also a report that he severely verbally abused another official at a company groundbreaking ceremony over a similar issue regarding congratulatory remarks.

Furthermore, in April, at the 30th anniversary ceremony of a girls' high school run by a Buddhist foundation in Yeongcheon, Assemblyman Yoon Seungoh is suspected of directing unspeakable insults and verbal abuse at foundation and school officials because he was not invited to the event. It is reported that the opening ceremony, attended by many students and parents, was delayed by 20 minutes due to Assemblyman Yoon Seungoh's disturbance.

The Democratic Party Gyeongbuk Provincial Party Committee strongly condemned the repeated power harassment and misconduct by People Power Party local council members, urging a swift and thorough investigation and calling for the immediate disciplinary action against Assemblyman Yoon Seungoh. The committee also sternly requested that the People Power Party break away from the practice of overlooking problematic individuals due to the arrogance that nomination guarantees election, and from shielding their own members even when issues arise. They called for a thorough review of the nomination system and decisive measures to exclude problematic figures.

In response, an official from the Gyeongbuk Provincial Council stated, "It is true that there was some commotion at the recent Yeongcheon event, and I understand that Assemblyman Yoon Seungoh has apologized to the affected public official."
