[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Kim Woong, a member of the Future United Party, said on the 16th that the remarks made by announcer Park Ji-hee, who hosts a tbs current affairs program, toward the late Park Won-soon, former mayor of Seoul's ex-secretary, constitute "the most despicable attack."
On that day, Rep. Kim wrote on his Facebook, "The most despicable attack on victims of workplace sexual assault is 'Why have you stayed silent until now?'"
He added, "The reason is the imbalance of power. This ugly force turns victims into complainants," and pointed out, "We are all imperfect. That does not mean we are despicable. But when perfection is demanded only from the weak, that person becomes despicable."
Earlier, announcer Park said on the 'Clean Zone Podcast Episode 202' aired on the 14th, "I am very curious about what they were doing for four years and why they suddenly came out into the world with lawyer Kim Jae-ryun now."
Regarding this remark, some have pointed out that announcer Park's comments may constitute 'secondary victimization' toward the accuser who revealed that she was sexually assaulted by Mayor Park.
