“Former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon, who won the women’s rights award in the 1990s, was active in the women’s rights movement, and introduced the concept of sexual harassment at work to Korea in the defense of the sexual harassment case involving Seoul National University assistant Woo, died along with allegations of sexual violence. After his death, controversy erupted over the way he paid tribute and mourned, including the funeral of the Seoul mayor for five days. Civil society celebrities have been listed as members of his funeral committee, some have criticized him for avoiding responsibility for sexual assault with death, and women’s groups and others have announced their position to “join with the victims.” How should we remember and pay tribute to the death of Park Won-soon, who is a symbol of the Korean pro-democracy generation and has achieved achievements of civic activists, human rights lawyers and the longest-serving Seoul mayor? What tasks and meanings did his death leave for Korean society? A series of influence-peddling by “progressive aspirants” ranging from Ahn Hee-jung, Oh Keo-don and Park Won-soon. What did women mean to the mainstream generation of democracy?” – From the editorial department’s words
