Jeon Yeo-ok to Chu Mi-ae: "Do you think you're at the level of Ahn Jung-geun? Truly impressive"

[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] Jeon Yeo-ok, former Saenuri Party (predecessor of the People Power Party) lawmaker, openly criticized former Minister of Justice and Democratic Party presidential candidate Choo Mi-ae.

On the 3rd, Choo criticized the selection of interviewers for the 'National Interview' in the preliminary primary on her Facebook post. She stated, "If a Japanese detective were to verify and evaluate Doctor Ahn Jung-geun, he would be called a terrorist," and added, "The person who poured harsh words and criticism at me is said to verify and evaluate me. This is anti-historical, self-deprecating, and unfair treatment," and "I feel deeply humiliated by the attempt to create a public stage for ridicule."

In response, on the same day, former lawmaker Jeon posted an article titled "Choo Mi-ae 'I am Ahn Jung-geun!'" on her blog. She quoted Choo's statement, "Choo said, 'I am Ahn Jung-geun,'" and "She compared the Democratic Party primary interviewers to Japanese detectives verifying and evaluating Doctor Ahn Jung-geun." Jeon criticized, "She portrayed herself as being at the level of Ahn Jung-geun and former Supreme Council member Kim Hae-young, who appeared as an interviewer, as a Japanese detective."

Jeon also pointed out, "It is said that the reason is that former lawmaker Kim criticized Choo when she was Minister of Justice," and "She even lied, asking accountant Kim Kyung-ryul, who reluctantly accepted the interviewer role, to say he voluntarily resigned. Assemblyman Ahn Min-seok does not do 'striking at midnight without cause' to Assemblyman Ha Tae-kyung. The Democratic Party is simply going crazy," she criticized.

Jeon sarcastically remarked, "Now the Democratic Party primary race is officially starting," and "The candidates are splendid." She continued, "How much deceit and sophistry will these people engage in tonight," and "It will be a time to 'autopsy' how our country could die." This is interpreted as a remark anticipating the Democratic Party's first TV debate scheduled for the same night.
