Jeong Yura "If you side with Cho Kuk, you are a patriotic conservative... Choo Mi-ae Fighting"

Mocking Former Minister Chu's Remarks Defending Jo Guk

Jung Yura, the daughter of Choi Seo-won (formerly Choi Soon-sil), who is serving a sentence for the state corruption scandal during the Park Geun-hye administration, targeted former Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae, who defended former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, claiming, "If you just side with Cho Kuk, you can be seen as a patriotic conservative." This was interpreted as a sarcastic remark implying that defending Cho Kuk actually provokes public outrage and politically benefits the conservative camp.

On the 27th, Jung shared an article on her Facebook stating that former Minister Choo defended former Minister Cho's rumored candidacy, saying, "Who else would go to such lengths for the conservatives in next year's general election? I am sincerely grateful."

On the same day, former Minister Choo appeared on YTN Radio's 'News King Park Ji-hoon' and said, "It is extremely undemocratic and inhumane for others to judge the pros and cons or criticize former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk based on the premise of his candidacy."

Regarding this, Jung said, "(Former Minister Choo) might be more sincere about conservatism than anyone else," adding, "There are so many absurd mental states and performance arts that are unbelievable unless you are an X-Man. These incidents make you think, 'This is not a joke, it's real.'"

She also added, "Keep siding with him. If they keep alienating public sentiment like that and just play land-grabbing among themselves, that's exactly their level."

Jung also criticized former Minister Choo in another post on the same day. Referring to Choo's remarks that "The Democratic Party is too tame" and "I will step up to restore wildness," Jung said, "As expected, patriotic conservative Choo Mi-ae (former Minister), fighting! Please act even more aggressively."
