[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] Former President Moon Jae-in criticized the rally situation in Pyeongsan Village, Yangsan, Gyeongnam, mentioning 'anti-intellectualism' referred to by President Yoon Suk-yeol in his inaugural speech.

Former President Moon stated on Facebook on the 15th, "I am sorry to the residents of Pyeongsan Village."

He pointed out, after attending mass at a church in Yangsan and eating cold noodles at a restaurant that "Upon returning home, the noise from loudspeakers and insults are disturbing the peace and freedom of a small rural village's Sunday, breaking the tranquility with anti-intellectualism."

As a result, residents have been complaining about inconvenience in daily life, with numerous civil complaints requesting restraint in the use of loudspeakers and speakers at night.
