Eonju Lee: "Has There Ever Been a President as Shameless as President Moon?"

Former Jinjin Party Preparatory Committee Chairperson Lee Eon-ju held an emergency press conference on conservative unification at the National Assembly Press Hall on the morning of the 14th of last month, stating, "I hope that the discussions of the Innovation Integration Promotion Committee, which are both the subject of innovation and those who claim to innovate, will lead to the birth of a new party that does not enjoy vested interests."

[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Lee Eonju, leader of Future Forward 4.0 (Jeonjin Party), strongly criticized President Moon Jae-in on the 5th, saying, "Has there ever been a president as shameless as President Moon?"

In a post on her Facebook that day, Lee said, "Shouldn't the president at least issue a public apology statement, acknowledging his own fault, regarding the massive state affairs manipulation by his close aides such as Cho Kuk, Yoo Jae-soo, Baek Won-woo, and others?"

She continued, "Honestly, isn't it possible that the president himself is involved? It's something he should be investigated for," but added, "At the very least, even if the president himself is not directly implicated during his term, shouldn't there be an attitude of apologizing for the corruption of his close aides?" raising her voice in criticism.

She pointed out, "But instead, he shamelessly blames and scolds the prosecutors conducting the investigation. Many presidents have faced issues due to corruption among their close aides or family members, but I have never seen anyone so shameless and never once apologizing."

The prosecution has identified that the police investigation status regarding the corruption of former Ulsan Mayor Kim Gi-hyun's close aides was reported to the Blue House multiple times between 2017 and 2018.

The prosecution concluded that the Blue House received reports on the investigation status related to former Mayor Kim 18 times before the local elections and 3 times after the elections, and reportedly included these facts in the indictment.

Additionally, the prosecution concluded that Cho Kuk, former Minister of Justice and then Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs, received reports on the investigation status at least 15 times through former Secretary Park.
