[Asia Economy Reporter Kim So-young] Kim Nam-guk, a Democratic Party lawmaker and chief of staff for Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, sarcastically told former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, "Always think before you speak and consult with Cheongongseung before talking." 'Cheongongseung' is a fortune teller who has given 'Jeongbeop lectures' on YouTube and has previously stated that he advised former Prosecutor General Yoon on his resignation.
On the 14th, Kim posted on his Facebook, "I hope candidate Yoon Seok-yeol sincerely apologizes for his recklessness," writing this.
Earlier that day, former Prosecutor General Yoon posted on his Facebook under the title "We must prevent the worst government in legitimacy from taking office," stating, "Various circumstances currently revealed clearly show that candidate Lee Jae-myung is a co-perpetrator of the Daejang-dong gate," and added, "My conviction that 'that person' mentioned by Kim Man-bae is indeed 'that person' is growing stronger."
In response, Kim said, "Lee Jung-soo, head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, said that the term 'that person' in the recorded conversation appeared only once and that it refers to someone else, not a politician," and "I cannot understand on what basis such irresponsible false agitation is being made."
He then listed former Prosecutor General Yoon's controversial remarks, criticizing, "Considering the recent statements made by candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, it seems he lacks even the most basic common sense and would be unable to understand the complex Daejang-dong development project. It seems very dangerous for such a person to speak recklessly about the Daejang-dong development project."

He emphasized, "If 'that person' is really candidate Lee Jae-myung, then Lee Jae-myung's son would have received 5 billion won; why would lawmaker Kwak Sang-do's son receive 5 billion won?" and added, "If candidate Lee Jae-myung is 'that person,' he would rather give 5 billion won to a passing dog than to lawmaker Kwak Sang-do or to buy Yoon Seok-yeol's father's house."
