[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Se-eun] Former President Moon Jae-in, who said he wanted to be "forgotten" after his retirement, has revealed his recent status through the social networking service (SNS) Instagram.

He had shared his daily life only through Twitter and Facebook, but by posting on Instagram after a long time, it seems he has expanded his range of SNS activities.

On the 19th, two photos were uploaded on former President Moon's Instagram with the phrase and hashtags "This year's first harvest is lettuce.", "#MoonJaein", and "#SeriousAboutFarming". In the photos, former President Moon was smiling with a white beard while holding a basket filled with lettuce.

In addition, he posted photos of his pet cat Jjingjjingi and a paper listing the names and birthdays of his pets. All these photos were disclosed only through Instagram and were not posted on Facebook or Twitter.

"The reason why only Daun’s birthday was left blank instead of being written is that Daun was born at the Blue House last year, and others also remember the birthday. It is a secret that the first birthday of Daun, which was left blank, was celebrated by personally preparing a special meal, even going through the trouble of thawing frozen meat in water. Recently, a handwritten nameplate was also hung at Daun’s house. #MoonJaein #Daun" is captioned. The photo on the right shows Daun, the pet dog.

This is the first time former President Moon has shared his recent status via Instagram after retirement. During his tenure, he used Instagram only as an official communication channel.

Meanwhile, former President Moon, who has been sharing his life in Yangsan with supporters through SNS after retirement, criticized protests in front of his private residence via Facebook, using the word "anti-intellectualism."

This sparked controversy as to whether he was mocking President Yoon Seok-youl, who used the same keyword "anti-intellectualism" at the time of his inauguration.
