[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] The so-called 'Seven-Point Petition' that was posted on the Blue House National Petition Board but was made private, causing controversy, has become a hot topic as the names of the current administration's leadership such as 'Hyunmi', 'Haechan', and 'Miae' are hidden within it.


On the 12th, a petition titled "Jinin (塵人) Jo Eunsan respectfully submits the Seven-Point Petition on Current Affairs, humbly asking for your consideration" was posted on the Blue House National Petition Board. As of 8:30 a.m. on the 28th, the petition had garnered over 191,500 supporters.


The petitioner, who identified himself as 'Jo Eunsan', borrowed the form of an old petition to criticize the Moon Jae-in administration's real estate, tax, personnel, and economic policies by sector.


In particular, Jo Eunsan targeted Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Kim Hyunmi, criticizing her by saying, "Some ministers are indifferent even when house prices have risen by 1.1 billion won, yet she is spouting the crazy claim that current prices have only risen by 11 percent." He also pointed out Democratic Party leader Lee Haechan, saying, "Some ministers dampen the people's spirit with absurd remarks that the capital Hanyang is vulgar and that the capital should be moved to Sejong."


Regarding Minister of Justice Chu Miae, he sharply criticized, "Some ministers still cannot tell whether they are the Minister of Justice or the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, as they jump around setting rental prices and perform a 'knife dance', tormenting the humble people's hearts."

About former Minister of Justice Cho Guk, he said, "Three out of ten ministers are idealists chasing unrealistic dreams, ruining national affairs." The first letters of each vertical line in the text read 'Hyunmi', 'Haechan', 'Miae', and 'Joguk'.


Additionally, Jo Eunsan described former spokesperson Kim Uigyeom, who resigned from the Blue House after investing in redevelopment shops in Heukseok-dong, Seoul, as "a genius at pulling together all his money, a legendary gambler, and a destroyer of loan limits." He also likened Chief Presidential Secretary Noh Youngmin, who was criticized for owning apartments in Banpo, Seoul, and Cheongju, Chungbuk, as a multi-homeowner, to "a traitor to his constituency and a textbook example of tax avoidance."


Jo Eunsan questioned, "Are those who truly want to raise this country the people who have been thrown out of their workplaces, or the ministers gathered in palaces and parliament?" He further asked, "Looking back at history, were those who plunged this country into misery the ignorant people, or the corrupt officials blinded by their own interests and the incompetent ministers of the court?"


Meanwhile, the petition was not made public on the petition board until the morning of the 26th despite having more than 100 preliminary supporters, causing controversy. Although the petition could be viewed by directly entering the URL, it was not searchable on the Blue House website.


Some speculated that "the Blue House intentionally hid it," but the Blue House explained, "It is currently reviewing whether to disclose the post according to normal procedures."



Since last year, the Blue House has been deciding whether to disclose petitions that have received more than 100 preliminary supporters after internal review, following concerns about defamatory petitions or duplicate petitions.
