[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Min Kyung-wook, a member of the United Future Party, revealed that former United Future Party leader Hwang Kyo-ahn once asked President Moon Jae-in for bail for former President Park Geun-hye at the Blue House.

On the 28th, Min posted a photo on his Facebook of former leader Hwang meeting President Moon at the Blue House, saying, "On that day, former leader Hwang requested bail for former President Park."

He said, "He asked for leniency so that the elderly and ill female president could receive treatment and trial while being released on bail, but President Moon rejected the request on the spot, saying it was legally difficult. Shortly after this incident, former leader Hwang went to the Baekbeom Memorial Hall in Hyochang-dong and was showered with water and insulted as a 'traitor who betrayed President Park Geun-hye' by an agitated Taegeukgi unit. However, he did not say a word," he revealed.

He continued, "When he returned to the National Assembly and reporters who were waiting asked about the ordeal, former leader Hwang did not add anything else and replied, 'I will just follow my own path.' I remember that well," adding, "Former leader Hwang was a man of few words and loyalty. The person who asked the president to hear those words was also a loyal person."
