Park Young-sun, Who Started to Capture 'Munsim', Emphasizes Daily "I Am the Original Pro-Moon"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] "During the 2012 presidential election, I was obsessed with candidate Moon Jae-in and felt a strong need to win, but my opinions were not heard. Feeling unacknowledged, I sulked. After that, I rarely attended meetings. I thought the unspoken thought would be 'Why didn't Park Young-sun come?' but no one asked. Then in 2017, after not answering twice, I received a third call and poured out all my grievances for three hours. After that, I said, 'From tomorrow, let's always be together.'

Park Young-sun, the Democratic Party of Korea's Seoul mayoral pre-candidate, appeared on the YouTube show 'Monthly Kim Eo-jun' aired on the 30th, saying, "I am the original pro-Moon (Chinmun). I cried a lot at the disbandment ceremony after the presidential election," sharing this anecdote related to being classified as anti-Moon (Bimun) within the Democratic Party.

Park joined Moon Jae-in's campaign as a co-chair of the joint election countermeasures committee in April 2017.

Recently, Park has been emphasizing her pro-Moon stance daily, actively seeking to capture Moon's support (Munshim).

On the 28th, Park, the former minister, also appeared on 'Sisa Tapa TV' and said, "I am the original pro-Moon," rallying support within the party.

She mentioned that she and President Moon are alumni of Kyung Hee University and said, "When the business community opposed, the Financial and Industrial Capital Separation Act was passed, and one day he came to my room asking if I could provide materials on the act, so I gave them to him. It is also mentioned in President Moon's memoirs," emphasizing, "I am the original pro-Moon." She also added her connections with former Presidents Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun. Regarding Kim, she highlighted that she always watched the news anchor's closing news when he was president, and about Roh, she pointed out that when his approval rating dropped by 15% during his candidacy, an interview she gave helped raise his approval rating.

Regarding the recent Seoul regional polls showing the Democratic Party's support rate ahead of the People Power Party, she said, "If you filter it through a funnel, it's the Park Young-sun effect."
