<Anchorage> The

representative of the ruling party and the Seoul Metropolitan Government, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, a government ministry helping victims of sexual crimes, said the victims were right by law today. Yet, other organizations showed a passive attitude of not engaging in how to call the victim.

Reporter Won-Kyung Park summarized this controversy.

 [Lee Hae-chan/Independence Democratic Party Representative (Yesterday): I would like to express my deep consolation to the suffering suffered by the victims of damage. .]

The term victim. It wasn't the first time it appeared.

It was also used during the controversy of Mitu by Won Jong-gun, the second Democratic Party recruiter.

[Nam In-soon/Independence Democratic Party (January) I deeply apologize to all the wounded people, including'the

victims'.'

Immediately after the prosecution of the prosecutor Seo Ji-

 hyeon , [Kwon Mi-hyuk / the Democratic Party of the Democratic Party (January 2018): To support the prosecution of the prosecutor's sexual violence, to encourage the courageous'victims' to be together without frustration... .] It

was the same immediately after the victim's interview with Ahn Hee-jeong, former secretary of the Chungnam branch, Kim Ji-eun.

[Chumi Ae/In addition, the Democratic Party representative at the time (March 2018): As a party representative, I apologize to the victims and the public.]

Of course, the charges were not confirmed through trial at the time.

In the Criminal Procedure Act, there is a provision that says, "The victim of a crime can be sued."

Even before the judicial proceedings begin, the complainant can be called a victim.

The Sexual Violence Prevention Act also uses the term victim, even when investigating.

The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family announced today (16th) that Mayor Park Won-soon's accused was a victim of the law.

The term "victim" is used because the necessity of legal counseling was recognized in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations and application was started.

However, he continued to take a passive stance that he would not judge whether or not the expression “damage appealer” is appropriate, saying that “technical methods may differ depending on the institution”.
