Former Prime Minister and ruling party presidential candidate Jeong Se-gyun received a "Sparta tutoring" session from the "swearing" actress Kim Soo-mi.


On the 9th, Jeong uploaded a video titled "Teacher Sumi's Sparta Tutoring" on his YouTube channel "Jeong Se-gyun TV." In the video, Kim encourages Jeong to transform his image to help boost his approval ratings.


Kim said, "Don't try to be called a gentleman; become a swearer like me," adding, "Jeong has too upright a posture. Having a proper posture is good, but you need to present it in a comedic and humorous way."


She continued, "There are no flaws at all. The person has no scandals. Since there’s no dust when you shake him, people get annoyed," and added, "You need to have some dust. Swear a little so some dust comes out."


When Jeong asked, "Should I trigger a scandal?" she replied, "People won't believe it."



Kim is Jeong's sponsor chairman and a close friend of 20 years. The two first met in 1997 at former President Kim Dae-jung's presidential campaign, and in the 2016 general election campaign in Seoul's Jongno district, Kim personally helped Jeong with his election campaign.
