[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Actress Kim Booseon commented on June 9 about the composite photo released by former Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae, which showed her hitting the calf of Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate. Kim said, "Choo Mi-ae's fanatical obsession made Yoon Seok-yeol a candidate, and now she is trying to make him president."

On the same day, Kim posted on her Facebook, saying, "The People Power Party should urgently invite Choo Dark as a co-chief campaign director." 'Choo Dark' is a portmanteau of former Minister Choo Mi-ae and Joan of Arc.

She added, "Every dawn, Yoon should fetch a bowl of cold water for Ms. Choo and express his gratitude to her morning and evening," and "The only person who raised today's Yoon Seok-yeol is Choo Mi-ae." The post has since been deleted.

Earlier, on the 7th, candidate Yoon appeared on KBS2's entertainment program 'Problematic Men in the Rooftop Room' and shared an anecdote about his father, Yoon Ki-jung, a professor emeritus at Yonsei University, saying, "My father was a person who valued principles," and "I was often scolded for not studying and playing around. When I was a university student, I was even hit by my father for staying out late."

Kim Seong-hoe, spokesperson for the Open Democratic Party, shared the article containing this content and pointed out, "Nothing is solved by corporal punishment." Subsequently, former Minister Choo Mi-ae attached a photo in the comments of that post.

The photo showed former Minister Choo Mi-ae wearing a hanbok with an angry expression, holding a cane, and candidate Yoon rolling up his calf with a daenggi hairstyle. Former Minister Choo did not provide any additional explanation regarding the photo.

Seeing this, former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon sarcastically commented on his Facebook, "The innocent desire to hit Yoon Seok-yeol was expressed adorably," and "Why is this person so childish?"

Former Minsheng Party leader Kim Jeong-hwa also criticized former Minister Choo on Facebook, saying, "Is this an expression of inferiority complex toward candidate Yoon? Or a desperate certification?" and "The level of awareness of someone who has served as Minister of Justice and party leader is not just low but disgusting."

She continued, "Choo Mi-ae, who decided to become Yoon's stalker. Sitcoms last only a day or two," and added, "Stop pestering and reflect on yourself. This is obsession at this point."

Meanwhile, former Minister Choo Mi-ae had conflicts with candidate Yoon, who was Prosecutor General during her tenure as Minister of Justice. During the Democratic Party primary, she likened former Prosecutor General Yoon to a 'pheasant' and described herself as a 'hawk that catches pheasants.'
