[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] Former Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae has once again demanded an explanation from Kim Gun-hee, the spouse of Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party.


On the 11th, former Minister Choo posted on her Facebook with a 'selfie' of Kim, writing "I demand the truth from Kim Gun-hee." She stated, "There has never been a presidential candidate's spouse like this before," and added, "This is not the time to hide behind curtains. There is an obligation to communicate and explain."


Former Minister Choo questioned, "If it is not plagiarism of the thesis, can't she call the media and confidently explain the contents of the thesis herself?" and "If Chairman Ahn Hae-wook is wrong, can't she face him directly and say 'I misjudged the person'?" She continued, "Chairman Ahn, born in 1948 and 74 years old, is younger than her mother Choi Eun-soon, born in 1946, so it is not right to distrust his memory by blaming his age," and added, "The focus is not on Chairman Ahn's age."



Earlier, Mr. Ahn testified in an interview with the independent media outlet 'Open Sympathy TV' that he met Kim at a hotel in 1997. However, after the interview, Yoon's campaign issued a statement rebutting, "In 1997, Kim was attending the Graduate School of Education at Sookmyung Women's University. Under no circumstances did Kim work at a nightlife establishment."
