[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Kim Mi-ae, a member of the Future United Party, apologized on the 26th regarding the controversy over wearing a mesh mask, saying, "I will always be careful with my words and actions."
On the same day, Kim said on Facebook, "Regardless of the reason, it was an inadequate act to cause controversy by wearing a mesh mask without being cautious in front of the people," adding, "I have felt very heavy-hearted for several days, and it has also been an opportunity to reflect on myself."
On the 21st, Kim visited the Disease Control Headquarters in Cheongju, Chungbuk, with Emergency Response Committee Chairman Kim Jong-in and had a private meeting with Director Jeong Eun-kyung. At that time, Kim was wearing a mesh mask.
Kim said, "Even in the National Assembly, a reporter covering the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) tested positive," and added, "Typhoon Bavi has quietly passed, and I pray that everyone stays safe by practicing personal quarantine and social distancing well."
