[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former lawmaker Geum Tae-seop criticized President Moon Jae-in on the 18th for mentioning methods such as canceling adoptions or switching adopted children when adoptive parents do not match the child, saying, "His awareness of human rights is questionable," and "How can someone come up with such an idea?"

On the same day, former lawmaker Geum said on Facebook, "Since it was a live press conference, we should evaluate the context and intent of the answers rather than nitpicking, but this part is absolutely hard to overlook."

Earlier, at the New Year's press conference, President Moon said regarding the 'adoption system improvement plan,' "Since adoptive parents' feelings can change, within a certain period, adoption can be canceled, or if the child and parents do not match, the adopted child can be switched. Various methods are needed to activate adoption without shrinking it and to protect adopted children," which sparked controversy.
