When the Democratic Party Mayor Park Young-sun apologized to the late Mayor Park Won-soon’s sexual harassment victims on the 8th, the People’s Power Candidate Oh Se-hoon and the People’s Party Candidate Ahn Chul-soo criticized it at the same time. They pointed out that “it’s too late, even if it’s too late,” aiming at candidate Park, “Eject members Nam In-soon, Jin Seon-mi, and Ko Kom-jung (in Candidate Park’s camp).” One month ahead of the Seoul Mayor’s by-election, the conversation between candidates is heating up in earnest.
Candidate Oh said on his Facebook page that day, “Candidate Park directly apologized for the sexual harassment of Mayor Park Won-soon this morning since he declared running for mayor of Seoul this morning. It was too late, at least 40 days after the declaration,” he said.
He said, “Although the Moon Jae-in administration, Democratic Party, and Seoul City officials have committed the second and third assaults on the victims, and the National Human Rights Commission and the court actually admitted that they are sexually harassing, they have apology or reflection on Candidate Young-seon Park’s direct apology in debates and dozens of media interviews. I couldn’t hear at all.
Candidate Oh said, “Why did you suddenly turn around a month ahead of the main race?” and “I’m curious about what’s in that heart.”
In addition, Candidate Oh introduced Park’s remarks on the victims of sexual harassment of former Mayor Park, and argued that “as the Democratic Party who nominated the Mayor of Seoul by changing the party constitution, it is a speech that ignores the citizens of Seoul without knowing the embarrassment as if going over a wall.” Candidate Oh’s opinion is that in the party’s primary election, he avoided immediate answers because he was conscious of the votes of the party members.
He said, “It is an election that stems from sexual harassment by the male mayor without intense reflection, so the citizens of Seoul cannot know how to count the candidates who are piggybacking on the need for a female mayor who can support women,” he said.

After Park’s apology, Ahn also criticized him, saying, “If you were truly sorry for the victim, you shouldn’t have run for it.” Candidate Ahn said, “Candidate Park was the person who followed Jangji as well as the former mayor’s funeral.”
In addition, Candidate Ahn mentioned three people who referred to former Mayor Park sexual harassment victims as’victims’ in Candidate Park’s camp, saying, “If you have a conscience, you must expel the three victims, Nam In-soon, Jin Seon-mi, and Ko Min-jung, from the camp.” Raised.
However, Park’s side refuted Ahn’s remarks on the day, saying, “Candidate Park Young-seon has not been to the former mayor of Park Won-soon.” Candidate Park only attended the mourning condolences of former Mayor Park.
