[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] Park Kyung-mi, spokesperson for the Blue House, stated on the 10th, "We express serious regret regarding the recent remarks by Choi Jae-hyung, a preliminary presidential candidate from the People Power Party, who mentioned that President Moon Jae-in's father, who served as an agricultural section chief in Heungnam, cannot be free from pro-Japanese collaborator controversies."

Spokesperson Park explained, "We hope that Candidate Choi keeps in mind that involving the President while trying to clarify his own controversies is a very inappropriate behavior for a presidential candidate. For reference, the President's father was born in 1920 and was 24 years old at the time of liberation."
