This is a criticism of the Democratic Party's Rep. Kohn Jung-jung posted on social media by Rep.
Soo-
jin Cho.
"If you were elected with the power of living power, wouldn't you have to be more humble?" he wrote.
In response, Rep. Koh said he would criminally sue Rep. Cho for defamation and insults, and that he would also ask for civil liability.
The Democratic Party also submitted a disciplinary bill against Cho to the National Assembly today (28th).

Even within the power of the people, "The last words aren't killings in the village." "Please apologize for the excessive expression and delete the article."
As the controversy grew, Rep. Cho deleted the post this morning and posted an apology to Rep. Go.
"As a female lawmaker, it hurts to say that the figurative expression has become a political controversy under women," he apologized, saying, "I'm sorry for the late Congressman."
