Choo Mi-ae "Kim Kyung-soo Supreme Court Ruling, Feeling an Indescribable Pain"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] Former Minister of Justice and Democratic Party presidential candidate Chu Mi-ae expressed "an indescribable pain" regarding Kim Kyung-soo, Governor of Gyeongnam Province, who was sentenced to two years in prison by the Supreme Court for conspiracy in the 'Druking comment manipulation' case.

On the 21st, former Minister Chu stated on Facebook, "As the party leader at the time who oversaw the last presidential election and deliberated on whether to appoint a special prosecutor for Governor Kim, I have believed in Governor Kim's innocence then and now."

Former Minister Chu said, "All of us who worked for the presidential election victory at the party level and the campaign committee level had no reason to pay attention to such abnormal methods, and we were firmly committed to the awareness that no illegal involvement should occur," adding, "Governor Kim must have felt the same."

She continued, "However, given Governor Kim's inherently kind nature and tendency to trust people, the sincerity and consideration he showed toward the fanatical supporter group may have unintentionally become a snare."

Former Minister Chu added, "Reflecting on Governor Kim's words, 'I will never give up the belief that the truth, no matter how far it is thrown, will return to its place,' I believe that someday, by some means, the substantial truth will surely be revealed."
