Lee Sun-ja, grandson Jeon Woo-won reprimanded... "Don't overstep your bounds"

"Allegations of 'Illegal Slush Funds' Denied as 'Impossible'"

The late President Jeon Du-hwan's wife, Lee Soon-ja, was revealed to have scolded her grandson Jeon Woo-won, telling him "Don't meddle presumptuously." Previously, Jeon had exposed the illegal slush fund allegations of the Jeon Du-hwan family, labeling his grandfather, former President Jeon, as a "mass murderer," and personally visited Gwangju to apologize to the victims and families of the May 18 Democratic Movement.

On the 9th, in the MBC program 'PD Notebook,' Lee criticized Jeon's actions via text message. On the broadcast, Jeon visited Yeonhui-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, to meet Lee, but when he could not see her, he left a message saying, "Grandmother, you told me to come see you in the U.S., so I came. You must be very busy, right? I love you, Grandmother."

In response, Lee said, "It seems the source of your memories all come from your mother who left our house 16 years ago, so ask her once," and scolded, "Not only are you involved with drugs and acting dazed, but you also tarnish your grandfather's reputation." She added, "You, who were not even born during the May 18 incident, should not presumptuously interfere anywhere and should just handle the matters that concern you well."

Lee also expressed her stance on the slush fund allegations raised by Jeon Du-hwan's family. Regarding Jeon's exposure of the slush fund, she drew a line, saying, "That is impossible."

She said, "He was only eleven years old. It seems all the information he exposes is provided by his mother. Woo-won, no matter how much nonsense he talks, is my blood relative, so I endure the pain, but Woo-won's biological mother received an enormous amount of property as alimony and divorced in 2007. What purpose does she have in driving her sick son to ruin?" she vented.

Regarding Jeon's claim last month on a broadcast that national badminton players visited the Yeonhui-dong house every Sunday for lessons and received cash, Lee said, "After Jaeyong (Jeon's father) returned from Japan, the family lived separately, and Sunday was set as family day when they gathered to exercise, go to amusement parks, or arcades, so there was no occasion to invite guests to the house on Sundays."
