Park Won-soon, the former mayor of Seoul, said that the city of Seoul, which had remained silent in connection with allegations of sexual harassment, would set up a joint public-private investigation team. Although the investigation team was directed to investigate the allegations, the public and private investigation teams do not have the authority to investigate.

<Reporter> The

card drawn by the Seoul Metropolitan Government in response to the victim's request for clarification was the public-private joint investigation team.

Suspicion of sexual harassment and suspicion of victims The issues that need to be addressed are suspicion of internal acquiescence and suspicion of recruitment process for secretaries.

[Hwang In-Sik / Spokesperson of Seoul City: Because legal experts and outside experts have enough experience, knowledge, and methods for investigating… .] He

also said he would make the second offense a priority and support victims.

Silence of suspicion led to the question, and this time it was passed on to the investigation team.

[Hwang In-sik/Seoul City spokesman: (If there is an employee who has helped commit a crime, are there any plans to sue the investigative agency?) Could the investigative team decide to take various necessary measures... . (It is said that the female secretary talked about sexual harassment inside and was ignored...?) The fact-finding team will judge and find out... .]

Public and private investigative groups do not have the right to investigate, unlike investigative agencies.

For this reason, it is impossible to forcibly look into the mobile phone or computer files of related persons, and there is no way to investigate if a significant number of retired Mayor Park's government lines fail to comply.

Because of these limitations, concerns have already been raised about whether the public-private research team will be able to identify the truth.
