[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Choyoung] On the 25th, Tae Young-ho, a member of the People Power Party, evaluated the commemorative photo of President Moon Jae-in and U.S. President Joe Biden kneeling in front of Korean War veterans to pay tribute, saying, "If President Moon planned it, he is a great strategist."

On the same day, Tae wrote on his Facebook, "The climax of President Moon's visit to the U.S. was the scene of kneeling to pay tribute to the June 25 war veterans together with President Biden."

Earlier, on the 21st (local time), when the Korea-U.S. summit was held, President Moon attended the Medal of Honor ceremony for retired Colonel Ralph Puckett Jr. (95), a Korean War veteran, at the White House. After expressing gratitude and respect to Colonel Puckett, President Moon and President Biden knelt on one knee and took a commemorative photo.

Rep. Tae claimed, "If it was planned by President Moon, it was a gesture taken to try to bring Kim Jong-un to dialogue," and "The ambiguous stance on the Korea-U.S. alliance can also be evaluated as a position taken to induce Kim Jong-un toward denuclearization."

He added, "If President Biden planned it, he is also a great strategist," explaining, "It can be seen as a plan to discipline President Moon, who lacks firm faith in the Korea-U.S. alliance, telling him to 'get a grip.'"

Regarding the Korea-U.S. joint statement, Rep. Tae said, "I was surprised that the government, which had advocated balanced diplomacy and 'Anmi Gyeongjung' (security with the U.S., economy with China), agreed," adding, "I rubbed my eyes, wondering if this was the President Moon I had seen so far."
