Political controversy surrounding Gender Minister nominee Yong Hye-in continues to unfold, as the Basic Income Party faces another debate. This time, the focus shifted to Kim Jin-seo, a deputy spokesperson for the party, after a prominent tattoo on her arm was captured on camera during a recent press conference.
The controversy erupted during a Basic Income Party press conference held on Monday at the National Assembly Communication Hall in Yeouido, Seoul.
