Introducing a 27-year-old man as the latest member of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) last month, Chairman Lee Hae-chan called him "the future" of the party.

That future now looks bleak. On Monday, a former girlfriend of Won Jong-gun revealed photos of her legs covered in bruises, claiming they were "the evidence of his rape."

She also, in detail, accused him of sexually abusing her and forcing her to carry out a sexual act in front of a camera.

"I'm not afraid of being sued for defamation, because everything I said here is an undeniable fact," she wrote on a popular website. This made headlines within hours.

The next day, Won, who had been widely promoted as the party's new representative for people in their 20s and 30s for the April 15 general election, announced that he will not seek his future in politics anymore. But he denied her claims.

"I apologize that the controversy erupted because of me," he told reporters at the National Assembly. "But her claims are not true … There were mistakes and errors in my earlier years, but I did not live my life indiscreetly. I feel awful after being falsely branded as a shameless person."

This isn't as relevant cause it's not happening in the West.

The text forces one to play devil's advocate though, the one quoted in the post anyway.

She has bruises and claims she was sexually abused.
That's fine, but do provide the substance which permits the assertion that those are "undeniable facts"

#Metoo doesnt rely on proof or evidence, nor do they ever ask for any. To them accused means guilty even when there is no proof. Just ask Alec Holowka. Oh wait.....

When you're too big-brained to be able to figure out that stuff like #MeToo only exists because of the perception that any woman who comes forward is just a jealous ex or gold-digging whore in the first place.

"You have to choose which person you're gonna be abusive to if you're a politician", amirite?
