Kim Bu-seon: "Lee Jae-myung is a 'fraud'... Kim Eo-jun knows but remains silent for power"
"I Jae-myung, a Thorough Businessman... Became a Politician to Make Money"
"Appeal: Honam and Jeju Should Not Have Anything Ranked First"
[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Actress Kim Bu-seon criticized Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung and broadcaster Kim Eo-jun together. Kim Bu-seon said that Lee's image is "entirely fabricated," and especially appealed to citizens of Honam and Jeju to withdraw their support. She also claimed that Kim Eo-jun "knows Lee best but remains silent to maintain his power."
On the 2nd, Kim Bu-seon posted on her Facebook, calling Lee "a very clever con artist. A trash who became a politician to make money," harshly criticizing him.
Kim Bu-seon said, "For over 30 years until 2018, I have worked to reveal the truth about the Jeju 4.3 Incident and the Gwangju 5.18 Democratization Movement through films," adding, "Even now, the independent film starring Kim Bu-seon, 'The Beaten Wife,' preserved in the Seoul National University National Library, is a film that exposes the injustice of 5.18, and I volunteered my talent without pay during the military dictatorship."
She continued, "I write this with a desperate feeling that Lee should never be number one in approval ratings, at least in Honam and Jeju," emphasizing, "I take pride in the generosity, sharpness like a needle, community spirit, and political awareness of the people in the south, which I believe are world-class."
She then said, "Lee is a clever con artist," explaining, "He told me he was single and gave me a business card saying he was Secretary General for Presidential Candidate Jeong Dong-young just days before the presidential election. From December 12, 2007, he actively asked me out. I was lonely and liked him, so I gave in."
Kim Bu-seon pleaded, "Please strike Lee Jae-myung so that he cannot even set foot in Honam and Jeju. Lee Jae-myung is a thorough businessman," adding, "As for the operation forces behind me? (Some say there are) unfortunately, I only have a one-year-old puppy."
She said, "I believe the wise citizens of Honam and Jeju will understand my deep intentions. I am embarrassed by this long, disorganized writing, but I shout once again," asserting, "Lee Jae-myung is not who he appears to be. It is all a fabricated image. From his age to the older brother couple incident, everything is a lie."
She then targeted Kim Eo-jun, saying, "Lee Jae-myung was born in 1963. Kim Eo-jun knows this better than anyone, but he remains silent to maintain his own power."
