As a result of the JoongAng Ilbo’s coverage, Kim, at the Yonhap News Inmates’ Rights Committee meeting on July 23 last year, pointed out the leak of the accusation, referring to a media report dealing with Mayor Park’s extreme choices. He expressed critical opinions such as “the fact was insufficient” and “organizational concealment should not be done.” At the meeting held two weeks after Mayor Park’s death, Standing Representative Kim did not attend, but made a written statement.

In the written data submitted by the standing representative Kim to Yonhap News, “I think I wrote the article in a situation where there was no factual confirmation of how Mayor Park’s sexual harassment case was known and how the lawsuit was filed with the police.” He pointed out that he had to check the facts rather than get caught up in the breaking news competition.” In the prosecution’s investigation, the party investigated as leaking the sexual harassment case of former Mayor Park raised a question to the media, saying, “There was insufficient confirmation of the facts about the leak.”

Standing representative Kim pointed out that “reports of complaint submission began to come out in earnest from 6 pm on July 10,” and pointed out that “the complainant had never said that he would report the damage himself, but the complaint was turned around.” He pointed out the behavior of the media taking the lead in reporting the damage without the complainant’s consent. At the same time, Standing Representative Kim also said, “The media must come to an end so that the second abuse can be stopped and the truth is investigated properly.”

However, as a result of the prosecution’s investigation, it was identified as the first person who leaked the related contents from the inside of a women’s organization to the outside by informing the Democratic Party lawmaker Nam In-soon of the lawsuit against Mayor Park. Even when he was suspected of being one of the female figures who leaked the accused, Kim remained silent without responding to media coverage. In the results of the prosecution’s investigation, it was also revealed that the standing chief Kim Soon-young made a phone call with the Seoul Mayor’s Gender Special Affairs and delivered the content that “the lawyer Kim Jae-ryun, the lawyer of the secretary’s office, is in contact with a women’s organization.”

When the Seoul Northern District Prosecutor’s Office announced the results of the investigation on December 30 last year, he said that he expressed his appreciation for the government’s major committees and the appointments of public institutions. He has served on the Gender Equality Committee under the Prime Minister, the Korean Women’s Human Rights Promotion Agency under the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Supreme Court Suspension Committee, and the President’s Direct Job Committee.

On the day of the announcement of the results of the investigation by the prosecution, the Korean Federation of Women’s Organizations decided to exclude the duties of the permanent representative Kim. The Korean Federation of Women’s Organizations said in a statement, “The’agreement schedule related to incident identification’ has been communicated to the outside due to the standing representative. We take full responsibility for the failure to complete,” he said. The JoongAng Ilbo made several phone calls and left a text message to hear Kim’s position, but the contact could not be reached.
