[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Former Blue House spokesperson Go Min-jung, who declared her candidacy for the April 15 general election, evaluated the party's response to the 'Won Jong-geon Me Too' issue as "quick."
On the 28th, appearing on JTBC's 'Political Department Meeting,' former spokesperson Go commented on Won Jong-geon, the Democratic Party's second recruited talent who became embroiled in controversy over 'dating violence,' saying, "Both the party and he himself made a swift decision. It seems to show how desperately the party views this election and how important it is to them."
On the 27th, Won was accused by his ex-girlfriend A of being a perpetrator of 'dating violence.' A claimed that she was treated as a 'sexual plaything' and subjected to gaslighting by Won.

As criticism mounted, Won voluntarily relinquished his status as a recruited talent for the Democratic Party's 21st general election.
Meanwhile, former spokesperson Go also confessed that it was painful to endure whenever people around her suggested she run in the general election. She said, "Everyone I met kept urging me to run. As the election date approached, the intensity of the demands increased. It was really hard to endure."
When asked, "Between former Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, who plans to run in Gwangjin District, Seoul, and former Korean Party floor leader Na Kyung-won, who plans to run in Dongjak District, Seoul, who would you like to compete against?" former spokesperson Go replied, "From my perspective, I need to carefully analyze where I would have a chance of winning and how much impact that would have. So I cannot act based solely on my own desires."
