Park Young-sun
Park Young-sun (박영선) (1960–) is a major politician of the Minjoo Party of Korea. She has been constantly criticized by LGBT rights groups for her extreme Christian beliefs. However, by Korea's political standards, which have strong tribalist logic, she is considered to be more left-wing than Keum Tae-sup, who is closer to social liberalism because of her party affiliation and pro-Moon standards. She is recognized as a centrist liberal politician in South Korean politics.[2]

“”We all oppose anti-discrimination laws, homosexuality laws, human rights laws. Who would approve of this? (...) Especially this gay law, which goes against the providence of nature and God.[1] |
She turned a blind eye to Korea's poor sexual minorities' human rights issues, thinking that the entire sexual minority is abnormal and contrary to nature's regulations. Therefore, she is a representative Minjoo Party politician who opposes anti-discrimination laws.
However, in recent years, the Minjoo Party has broken with the pro-Moon faction, and is classified as non-Moon by criticizing the president. In fact, she is also extremely anti-Islamic.[3] Minjoo Party supporters still seem to recognize Park Young-sun as progressive and Keum Tae-sup as conservative. (By European standards, Keum Tae-sup, will be seen as a relative liberal centrist and Park Young-sun as a Christian fundamentalist right-wing.)
