Policy Watch: Liberal presidential hopeful says lack of consent should constitute rape
[By Yoon Min-sik] (전략) Rep. Kweon Seong-dong of Yoon's People Power Party publicly opposed the idea at the time, saying it would be impossible to prove consent. He claimed that the proposal amounted to "disparaging adults as immature, unable even to say yes or no to sexual intercourse." Kweon again voiced his opposition last year, and claimed that the proposed consent-based rape law was the Democratic Party's attempt to spark gender-based conflict. Political tensions in Korean society related to gender have been growing, with a 2024 survey by Hankook Research showing that 64 percent of respondents said it was a serious issue.
