"Truly Heartwarming Painting" Supporters Cheer
Some Say "Lee Jae-myung's Arrest Warrant Has Been Issued"

Former President Moon Jae-in shared daily life photos on the 17th, including planting potatoes in his garden.

While supporters sent messages of encouragement, some criticized that releasing such photos amid the chaotic political situation caused by the confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties was inappropriate.

On that day, former President Moon posted on his Facebook, uploading four photos with the brief caption, "Cheonseongsan Sanggo-daewon met at the end of this winter and the first farming of the year, planting potatoes."

The released photos showed former President Moon dressed comfortably, squatting in the garden planting potatoes. He also personally placed a wooden sign labeled 'Gamja' (potato) in the potato field. Additionally, photos were shared of him climbing Cheonseongsan Mountain in Yangsan, Gyeongnam, using a cane.

Supporters left encouraging comments on former President Moon's daily life photos. Netizens believed to be his supporters wrote responses such as, "What a heartwarming scene. Wishing you always good health," "May your body and mind be healthy," and "Always respect you. Always miss you."

However, some netizens left critical comments directed at former President Moon. They pointed out that it was not timely to share leisurely daily life photos amid ongoing confrontations between the ruling and opposition parties. One netizen commented, "People are angry about the news of the arrest warrant request for Lee Jae-myung (Democratic Party), but you leisurely plant potatoes? Must be nice."

Earlier, on the 8th, former President Moon posted a recommendation for the book 'A Walk Through Jo Guk's Legal Classics' authored by former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk. Moon said, "Regardless of the author's situation, it is a good book I want to recommend," adding, "As a scholar and writer, I reaffirm the author's capabilities and feel a sense of regret."

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party held a 'Protest Rally Against the Yoon Seok-yeol Regime's Prosecutorial Dictatorship' at the National Assembly on the same day. According to the organizers, about 2,500 people attended, including party leadership, affiliated lawmakers, party officials, aides, party members, and supporters.

Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung criticized in his speech at the rally, "While the lives of the people are difficult, the Yoon Seok-yeol regime does not control rising prices but exhausts national power chasing after Lee Jae-myung," adding, "They were entrusted with power but are obsessed with hunting opposition parties and eliminating political rivals."

He continued, "Do not ignore the suffering and anger of the people who ask, 'Is this a country?'" and said, "The weak individual becomes a mighty river of candlelight, and the people are strong and collective intelligence moves to hold the regime accountable and bring it down."
