”Women's bodies are being used as a tool for political attacks” - Petition to expel Lee Jun-seok receives 100,000 signatures in one day, South Korea

I would like to see the removal of Rep. Lee Jun-seok of the New Reform Party from his position as a member of the National Assembly after he caused controversy by making inappropriate remarks about women's body parts during a television debate between the 21st presidential election candidates.
A petition requesting the expulsion of Rep. Lee Jun-seok from his position as a lawmaker was sent to a standing committee under the jurisdiction of the National Assembly on the 5th. According to the National Assembly's online petition website on the 5th, the petition requesting the expulsion of Rep. Lee Jun-seok from his position as a lawmaker, which was posted on the 4th, was passed on the 5th.
The petition has exceeded the required threshold of 50,000, gaining the support of over 100,000 people. This means that the petition will be formally reviewed by a standing committee of the National Diet. The committee in charge has yet to be determined.
The petition was filed after Rep. Lee said during the third TV debate of presidential candidates held on the 27th of last month that the son of President Lee Jae-myung had previously
It all started when he caused controversy by publicly using derogatory language against women, quoting the contents of a message he had allegedly left on the internet.
The petitioner, a surnamed Lim, said, "Representative Lee attacked the opposing candidate in front of the eyes of all sovereign citizens.
"He committed verbal violence, describing violence against a woman's body in order to attack her," the report said, pointing out that "this utterance is an unprecedented event in constitutional history in which a woman's body is used as a tool of political attack."
The petitioner also said, "Even before the presidential debate, Rep. Lee continued to distort women and minorities into a binary composition of 'citizens' and 'non-citizens.'
"Representative Lee has led a discriminatory and inflammatory politics," he said. "The discriminatory and inflammatory acts he has engaged in, the inappropriate and violent language he used during the presidential debate, and the subsequent
"His irresponsible attitude of justifying his own actions greatly undermines the trust of sovereign citizens and undermines the dignity of Diet members," he said.
He further cited Article 46, paragraph 1 of the Constitution and Article 155, paragraph 16 of the Diet Law, saying, "The Constitution and the National Diet Law state that Diet members have a duty of integrity.
"We petition to expel Rep. Lee, who violated the Ethics Code for National Assembly Members and the Code of Ethics and Practice for National Assembly Members," the ministry said. According to Article 64, Clause 3 of the Constitution, it takes one third of the members of the National Assembly to expel a member of the National Assembly.
However, there has been no case of a member of the National Assembly being expelled through such a national petition.
On the 28th of last month, 21 lawmakers from the Democratic Party and the Social Democratic Party submitted a proposal for disciplinary action against Rep. Lee to the National Assembly Ethics Committee. In the proposal, the lawmakers said, "Rep. Lee openly belittled and insulted a specific gender among the public and sexually abused the public."
"They committed acts of violence and made the public who were watching the program victims of sexually violent remarks."
