Meanwhile, on the same day, there was an incident where the 'Aechoga' tag disappeared from Yoon's Facebook account introduction section but was restored after about an hour.


Yoon deleted two tags, 'Aechoga' and 'American Pie,' from his Facebook introduction section that day, but restored the 'Aechoga' tag around 4 p.m. This was about an hour after reports emerged that the 'Aechoga' tag had been removed.


Earlier, when Yoon opened his Facebook account on the 29th of last month, he added five tags: △Aechoga △Gukmin Madangsoe △American Pie △Toriappa Nabi Jipsa △Said to resemble Butt Detective.



However, two days later, on this day, the disappearance of the 'Aechoga' tag raised suspicions in political circles that it might be related to controversies surrounding Yoon's wife, Kim Geon-hee.
