Julie Won and Eugene Noh reject scrutiny of their relationship over Noh's appointment as campaign manager for Mayor Eric Adams, labeling it sexist and misogynistic. Noh, a political strategist, confirmed his role in the campaign, recognizing its underdog status, especially after Adams withdrew from the Democratic primary due to a corruption probe. Won had previously endorsed Adams' opponent. The couple maintains that individual professional decisions should not lead to personal accountability for spouses.
"Having followed Mayor Adams's career and his time in office, I knew that he was not the man that he was portrayed and characterized to be," Noh said. "I built my career on helping underdogs towards upset victories."
Both Won and Noh have dismissed the coverage as sexist, arguing that neither spouse should be held accountable for the other's professional decisions.
