Yoon Gun-young: "Yoon Seok-yeol Pretends to Be a Victim... Choi Jae-hyung Overlaps with Ban Ki-moon"

On November 8, 2019, President Moon Jae-in saluting the national flag at the Anti-Corruption Policy Council held at the Blue House. Behind President Moon is Yoon Seok-youl, then Prosecutor General, and on the right is Choi Jae-hyung, Chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection.

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] Yoon Geon-young, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, expressed displeasure regarding former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol and Board of Audit and Inspection Chairman Choi Jae-hyung being mentioned as opposition presidential candidates, saying, "You may know the depths of water, but you never know the depths of a person's heart. How can you know if someone intends to betray you?"

On the 24th, on MBC Radio's 'Kim Jong-bae's Focus,' Rep. Yoon pointed out, "The problem lies with the person who betrays, not with balanced appointments."

He said, "President Moon Jae-in made balanced appointments by placing conservative figures and representatives of the prosecution in the most powerful institutions, the Board of Audit and Inspection and the Prosecutor General's Office."

Regarding Chairman Choi's presidential ambitions, he said, "That must never happen. Leaving office mid-term to run for president is an insult to the people," adding, "It reminds me of former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon."

Rep. Yoon commented on the 'Yoon Seok-yeol X-file' controversy, stating, "The opposition party stepped on a landmine and detonated a bomb themselves," and "The reason the issue escalated was because of former Prosecutor General Yoon's self-sabotage."

He further pointed out, "There is a timing aspect that former Prosecutor General Yoon brought upon himself," explaining, "As he kept saying he would run for president, the public and media naturally felt the need to verify him. Then the X-file surfaced."

He advised, "If former Prosecutor General Yoon is confident, it is right to disclose the contents," adding, "He should find a way to reveal it without using legal excuses to gain the trust of the people."

He also criticized, "Calling it illegal surveillance or political manipulation distracts from the core issue," and said, "It is a strategy to change the narrative by portraying himself and his family as victims."
