"The power of the people, Rep. Kim Byung-wook raped an intern in another parliamentary room at a hotel in Andong, Gyeongbuk, when he was an assistant to the National Assembly in 2018," the YouTube channel Garrosero Research Institute claimed on the broadcast on the 6th.
Shortly after the broadcast, Congressman Kim refuted, saying, "It's not at all true," and saying, "The disgusting people are angry at the reality that pollutes Korea in the name of broadcasting.
Strong legal action was also announced, but yesterday it was declared abruptly withdrawal.
In his position, Congressman Kim said, "I will withdraw from the party in order not to burden the party," and "I will return after revealing my innocence."
He repeatedly denied that the truth of the allegations was completely untrue.
The People's Strength Emergency Response Committee convened an emergency meeting to discuss the case of Congressman Kim and canceled it when news of withdrawal came.
Chairman Kim Jong-in said it was his own decision.
