Consul General Kim Eui-hwan of New York, who expressed his resignation, directly refuted the allegations related to Kim Gun-hee and the controversy over his remarks on Liberation Day.Consul General Kim
met with YTN on the 14th local time and said, "I'm angry and angry," adding, "I tried my best to serve as consul general, but I expressed my resignation because I thought I couldn't do my job due to the opposition's reckless offensive."
He then drew the line, saying, "I respect Mrs. Kim's ability and character as an exhibition planner, but it has nothing to do with her appointment as consul general."
At the Liberation Day celebration, Consul General Kim criticized Liberation Day President Lee Jong-chan's commemorative speech, which criticized the movement to enact National Foundation Day, and said, "We need to crush pro-North Korean leftists inside the Republic of Korea."
In response, the Democratic Party of Korea demanded an apology during the parliamentary audit of the Consulate General in New York last month, but when Consulate General Kim refused, it raised suspicions that such outspoken remarks were because Kim was behind her.
