[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Seulgi Kim] Yoo Si-min, chairman of the Roh Moo-hyun Foundation, said, "I am planning to stop political commentary."

Chairman Yoo made this remark on the 16th after the KBS broadcast reporting the vote count status of the 21st National Assembly election, saying, "I learned a lot this time. When you talk a lot, you end up saying things you shouldn't."

He added, "I thought it was socially meaningful in my own way, so I have done it for three years, but I will stop so that others can take over," and "I thought I should complete the remaining year and a half as chairman of the Roh Moo-hyun Foundation and return to my original daily life."

He continued, "Since last year, I have been, so to speak, fighting with Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl, experienced many conflicts while running the YouTube channel Alileo, and almost fell into a trap. It became too difficult to handle, so I decided to stop."

Earlier, Chairman Yoo was criticized by members of the Democratic Party of Korea for remarks related to securing 180 seats for the pan-progressive coalition.

On the 14th, on his YouTube channel 'Yoo Si-min's Alileo,' he said, "If the election results do not show a landslide victory for the Democratic Party of Korea but rather a good performance by the United Future Party, I feel like I will be stoned to death," adding, "I feel like I will take all the blame. I have nothing to say."
