Political criticism continued for the Democratic Party lawmaker Song Young-gil, chairman of the National Assembly's Foreign Affairs and Transportation, and the Democratic Party's remarks in advocating for a'sexual harassment suspected diplomat'.

Rep. Song appeared on MBC radio'Kim Jong-bae's attention' on the morning of the 19th yesterday and said, "The same guys hit the boat once and hit the ass" about the problem behavior of a Korean diplomat who is suspected of sexual harassment by local New Zealand employees. “I think there are cultural differences between the two countries,” he said. At the same time, the issue of repatriating the diplomat to New Zealand was at the center of controversy by drawing a line saying, "That's over (excessive action)."


After Song's remark, Justice Party lawmaker Ryu Ho-jeong posted a post on his SNS, saying, "The attitude of the government to respond to the sexual harassment scandal by a diplomat is also a problem, but the perception of the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Transportation, which has the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a competent agency, is more shocked." I pinched.

Rep. Ryu introduced an anecdote in which he responded to a woman next to her, who stroked her back during a past party event, saying, "You shouldn't do this without permission from anywhere or anyone." '". Regarding Congressman Song's'over' remarks, he also pointed out, "The chairperson is a representative of the people who should seriously rebuke the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He has great authority and power. Wouldn't it be okay to overdo a little?"


Justice Party spokesman Jo Hye-min also commented, saying, "Regardless of the opposite sex or the same sex, sexual harassment is literally sexual harassment." Then, he strongly criticized, saying, "Cultural differences in itself advocated sexual harassment. It was no different from helping to create a society insensitive to sexual violence," and urged, "The Korean government should actively cooperate with the investigation of sexual harassment charges." I did.

Deputy spokesman Hwang Gyu-hwan of the Future Integration Party also said, "The chairman of the National Assembly's Foreign Affairs Committee, who should speak out to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Consistent with a comfortable response, is trying to cover the government even while hurting the victims." "The distorted gaze of the ruling party lawmakers toward you is endlessly embarrassing and embarrassing."


Rep. Song explained that as the controversy spread, "It came from pointing out the point that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not understand the cultural differences between New Zealand and Korea, and it was easy to deal with." However, regardless of intention, the suspicion of sexual harassment was simply'cultural differences' and'the same man. It has been pointed out that it was reduced to'actions that can be done by each other'. Netizens also criticized them all at once, saying, "I am embarrassed as a Korean citizen", "Song's last words are a sense of foreign topics," and "There should be no more responding to allegations of sexual harassment for ruling party lawmakers."
