  "account": "The Democratic Party announced on November 11 that the police must immediately re-investigate the case of the daughter of a Member of Parliament, Hong Dohoon, who was accused of plagiarizing a research paper. Democratic Party spokesman Park Sung-jun referenced Benson, a South African author of academic papers, who was accused of plagiarism. Park said that Hong Dohoon's daughter had written five research papers and four e-books in just two months, and that the names of the plagiarism author, Benson, appeared in the paper files. Park questioned why Hong Dohoon had remained silent for four years on the identity of \"an online tutor\" who exposed him as a plagiarizer during a parliamentary inquiry. The spokesman emphasized that if someone uses a tool to attack others only in front of their family, it is not fair and is a matter of privilege. Another lawmaker claimed that the Democratic Party is using the \"0.99-dollar copyright\" controversy to attack Hong Dohoon in order to discredit him. The lawmaker stated that the Democratic Party's actions are ridiculous and there is nothing wrong with the issue. Earlier, the newspaper reported that a lawmaker alleged that the Justice Ministry covered up a case where a Member of Parliament's daughter was accused of violating copyright law during a 2022 parliamentary inquiry. Democratic Party lawmaker Pyo Hyeon-seok pointed out that the Ministry of Justice did not receive a request for judicial assistance from the Seoul Central District Court in November 2022.",
