Apart from the police, the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that it would investigate the issue on its own by gathering outside experts, excluding those who are directly related to Seoul city officials. However, since there is no power or limitation to call forcibly to investigate, there is a story from the beginning.

card that was brought to the point that Seoul City, suspected of acknowledging sexual harassment and whether it could properly investigate suspicion, can investigate properly, is an investigation team composed of outsiders.

It means that it will create a research team of 9 women, 3 human rights experts, human rights and legal experts, and receive recommendations from women's organizations and the National Human Rights Commission of Women's Law.

The emphasis was on the fact that Seoul was excluded from personnel, and in fact, it was an external organization.

The women's rights experts who will participate in the investigation immediately decided to receive recommendations from the Korean Women's Telephone and Korea Sexual Violence Counseling Center, which

are victim support groups. There is. We are prepared to listen to any comments from the victim support group.] The

two groups have not revealed whether they will participate in the Seoul City Plan.

If the two groups refuse to recommend experts, the composition of the research team itself may be defeated.

Whether the investigation team is operating normally depends on the intentions of women's organizations that support the victims.

Even if the investigation team is launched as planned by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, it is still considered to be the limit of the lack of compulsory investigation authority.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government has offered alternatives such as requesting the police to investigate if a retiree fails to investigate without justifiable grounds, but the prospect is uncertain as to how much an investigation team without compulsory investigation could lead to cooperation.
