On the 9th, a memorial service for the 3rd anniversary of the late former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon was held at Moran Park Minju in Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do. This place is called a holy place for democratization martyrs, as there are graves of regarding 200 democracy martyrs, including young worker Jeon Tae-il, Seoul National University student Park Jong-cheol, and human rights lawyer Cho Young-rae.

Regarding this, Minister of Patriots and Veterans Affairs Park Min-sik mentioned that the phrase ‘pro-Japanese anti-national actor’ was written on the burial record of the late General Baek Seon-yeop, and said, “Why don’t you record his shameful criminal charges at the grave of Mayor Park Won-soon?”

In an article titled “Park Won-soon or Baek Seon-yeop?” posted on Facebook on the 10th, Minister Park said, “Although he passed away in a completely different way at the same time, an honorable death is rather disparaged and a disgraceful death is rather commemorated, perhaps because it was the Moon Jae-in regime. atmosphere,” he said.

Minister Park said, “Former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon has already been ‘accredited’ by the Human Rights Commission and the court for sexual harassment charges.” It is disappearing faintly.”

He said, “On the other hand, General Paik Seon-yeop had to be labeled a pro-Japanese until his death, and he is still constantly under attack that he should be destroyed.”

Minister Park continued, “It should not be done any longer to close your eyes to the confirmed ‘and’ of former Mayor Park Won-soon, and look at the issue of men of national merit from the narrow perspective of a specific camp that does not have General Seon-yeop Paik’s ‘and’ that does not exist.” “There may be some who argue that Mayor Park Won-soon is not a man of national merit, so why is it such a simple comparison, but the’Democratization Merit Act’ that the Democratic Party is trying to enforce is because it shows a typical specific camp’s’history interception’ method,” he said.

Minister Park said, “According to this law, former Mayor Park Won-soon may someday be resurrected as a pro-democracy meritorious person following being praised for democratization.” They will be trampled on and killed, and fake meritorious people will be replicated indefinitely and gain power.”

On July 9, 2020, former Mayor Park Won-soon made an extreme choice when he was accused of sexual harassment by his secretary. In July of that year, she was buried in Seonyeong, Jangma-myeon, Changnyeong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, her hometown. Her bereaved family finished the funeral early in the morning at the time, but it was interpreted that they were in a hurry, conscious of the opposition from the female community.

General Baek Seon-yeop is a person who changed the tide of war and completed the current army system by defending the Nakdong River front in the ‘Battle of Dabu-dong’ during the Korean War. However, when General Baek Seon-yeop passed away on July 10, 2020, there was controversy over the burial of the National Cemetery, saying that he had pro-Japanese activities. His remains were buried at the Daejeon National Cemetery, and the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs put the phrase “pro-Japanese national activist” in the burial information.

Currently, the government is promoting a plan to delete the phrase from the burial records of 12 national meritorious persons buried at the National Cemetery, including General Baek Seon-yeop. On the 6th, Minister Park said on CBS Radio’s ‘Kim Hyun-jung’s News Show’, “The more I study, the more this person (Baek Seon-yeop) is not pro-Japanese. I have the confidence to speak with my position.” When asked regarding his history of subjugation of the independence army, he said, “It is true that he served in the Gando special task force,” but insisted, “There was no independence army in Manchuria at the time, and the target of the subjugation was not the independence army either.”
