In this article, Professor Kim said, “I think it is correct to apologize politely to the person accused of sexual harassment of Mayor Park Won-soon, even if it is not intentional, and write my sincere heart here.” I apologize.”
Professor Kim explained that the name was unintentionally exposed in the process of revealing the handwritten letter, and he discovered it immediately after posting and immediately turned the post to private, but his real name was exposed for a minute or two. “If the second offense was the purpose, there was no reason to switch to private immediately after posting or to cover up the real name,” he said again, saying that there was no intention.
Attorney Kim Jae-ryun, who is the legal representative of the victim who accused the late Mayor Park Won-soon of sexual harassment, is holding a one-person protest in front of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 8th to urge Mayor Park to investigate allegations of sexual harassment and the second perpetrator. .

Professor Kim explained, “To explain a little more, I am a person who can only see one eye,” and said, “The visible vision side is also very bad, so it is difficult to distinguish the data.”
Professor Kim also added, “Even when reporters contacted us for coverage, we did not deny the exposure from the perspective of defense,” he added. “It was an unintentional mistake, so I honestly admitted that.
However, Professor Kim urged that Mr. A’s letter to former Mayor Park was released in order to know the’substantial truth’. “I thought it would be very painful if the late Mayor Park Won-soon, who has made extraordinary efforts and contributions to human rights and women’s rights without knowing the facts yet, is evaluated and defined as an unscrupulous person and remains in history.”
He said, “I thought that there was a gap between the continuous pain of sexual harassment for 4 years and the desire to somehow avoid it VS Mayor Park Won-soon’s respect for Mayor Park Won-soon, and that there is a gap that is difficult to understand as a general citizen.” If there is, I wanted to protect it.”
On the 23rd, Min Kyung-guk, former Seoul city personnel planning secretary and Oh Seong-gyu, former Seoul Mayor’s secretary, released a handwritten letter sent by Mr. A to Mayor Park on Facebook. Professor Kim revealed the photo of this letter, revealing Mr. A’s real name, and then concealed his name.
It is a violation of current law to disclose personal information of victims of sexual violence without the consent of the parties. Mr. A’s legal representative, attorney Kim Jae-ryeon, explained, “This act violates Article 24 of the Special Case Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (Prohibition of Disclosure of Victim’s Identity and Privacy).”
On the 24th, Mr. A sued Professor Kim to the cyber investigation team of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
