“Even if it appears in Alpes like that, it is true that the composition of sexual power in society is overwhelmingly designed to be unfavorable to women, and since the overwhelming majority of victims of violence are women, it is written to overcome the reality that women are suffering from sexual violence. On the 15th, former CEO Kim stressed, “The reality that women are suffering from sexual violence” and “an alibi to overcome opposition to misogyny or sexual violence” through a meeting five days after committing sexual harassment. ”Etc. Currently, in the Namcho community, “Aren’t you stuck with your conscience? There are strong voices of criticism, such as “You made that remark after sexual harassment”, “You were a sex offender, so you defended Alpes?”
