Content posted on the Blue House Facebook page on the 4th.

On some internet community boards, a photo appeared that made it look like President Moon was saluting the national flag with his left hand instead of his right. The photo is related to the comprehensive review meeting on the response to the 'Novel Coronavirus Infection (COVID-19)' held at the Government Seoul Office on January 30.

The photo shows President Moon saluting the national flag together with Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun and other cabinet members. Media reports covering the COVID-19 comprehensive review meeting on that day included photos showing President Moon saluting the national flag with his right hand. This is why the photo controversy has been followed by claims that it is a 'false manipulated photo.'
