Reform Party leader Lee Jun-seok (Hwaseong, Gyeonggi) recently faced controversy after some internet users claimed he "posted a comment with an impure intention" on a social media (SNS) post about the so-called "Dongtan missy look (Dongtan look)." Lee said the claim was groundless and signaled legal action.
Lee, whose constituency includes Dongtan New Town, wrote on his Facebook page on the 9th, "There are some groups going around spreading false information as if I commented somewhere to hit on a woman," adding, "This has been rampant lately, so I will take legal measures against this type as well."
Lee also disclosed the Instagram post where he left a comment. The post features a photo of a woman in a form-fitting dress that shows her figure, posted with the description "Dongtan new downtown missy look." On the post, Lee commented, "There is no one who dresses like this in Dongtan" and "A type not seen in Dongtan."
Some internet users captured the post and shared it, claiming he "showed interest and then deleted the comment." Lee said, "Dongtan residents dislike having the city's image distorted by terms like 'Dongtan look,'" adding, "As the constituency's lawmaker, it is natural to correct such memes when I see them." He continued, "There was nothing wrong with the comment, so I didn't delete it."
