Jeong Gu-cheol, Public Relations Planning Secretary, "The Blue House Preemptive Blockade Theory is an Absurd Fiction"

Refuting Controversy Surrounding Resignation Background: "Entered in Poor Health and Experienced Discomfort Affecting Work"

[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] "Even anger feels wasted. The futile attempts to somehow involve the Blue House are only pitiful and pathetic."

Jeong Gu-cheol, Secretary for Public Relations Planning at the Blue House, dismissed political interpretations regarding the background of his resignation announcement on the 28th. He stated, "I came in with poor health, and I felt discomfort to the extent that it interfered with my work, so I expressed my intention to resign last April. There were attempts to dissuade me, and the process has been delayed due to overlapping personnel factors. That's all there is to it."

In particular, Secretary Jeong said, "The preemptive blocking theory is an absurd fiction. How could one foresee what would happen in May back in April? I do not have that ability," adding, "It is true that the Secretary General of Jeonguiyeon is my wife. I have never hidden it, nor have I ever promoted it," and "Those who know, know; those who don't, don't. Each of us has lived diligently."

Secretary Jeong added, "My wife has been working with Jeonguiyeon for nearly two years, and only now did I realize that, as her husband, I was not a supporting member. I feel sorry about that."
