Democratic Party lawmaker Mi-hyang Yoon appeared at the main assembly hall of the National Assembly yesterday afternoon and left the conference hall in the middle of questioning the government.
Although he was innocent, he did not take any additional positions after asking the party to resign from the party and suspend party membership, saying that he would not burden the party.
The Democratic Party's action came late yesterday afternoon.
Assemblyman Yoon's office was suspended.
Rep. Yoon was in charge of three positions: Central Committee member and delegate, but all quit.
CEO Nak-Yeon Lee launched the Ethics Inspectorate and said that at the same time, it will deal with the issue of Assemblyman Yoon.
[Nak-Yeon Lee/Deputy Democratic Party Representative: The newly introduced ethics inspection team will be formed tomorrow (today). So, in connection with that, I will discuss it at the Supreme Council tomorrow.] The
Ethics Inspectorate is the party's direct organization created in the wake of the late Mayor Park Won-soon's suspicion of sexual harassment.
There is a possibility that a suspension of party membership in the form of accepting the request of Congressman Yoon will also be implemented today.
However, the people's strength is increasing the pressure to resign from the legislator right away, so the battle is likely to continue for some time.
