Former Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae's revelation that former President Moon Jae-in asked her to resign was interpreted by lawyer and political commentator Jeon Won-chak as "a sign of wanting to align with Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea."

On the 3rd, Jeon said on SBS's 'Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show,' "In this war between Leader Lee and former Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yeon, I now choose to align with Leader Lee. I will now line up with him," expressing this view.


Former Minister Choo appeared on the YouTube channel 'OhmyTV' on the 29th of last month and stated, "(President Moon) directly told me to 'step down,'" clarifying that her resignation was not voluntary. Amid various interpretations of her revelation's background, former Blue House Senior Secretary for Political Affairs Choi Jae-sung rebutted on KBS Radio, saying, "He is not that kind of person."


Jeon commented, "The biggest fool this time is actually former President Moon," and criticized, "Former President Moon has been singing that he wants to be forgotten, opened a bookstore in Pyeongsan, and even met former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, placing a liquor bottle with the presidential emblem in front of him to show off, and drank together."



Jeon also claimed that President Yoon Suk-yeol's recent remarks about 'anti-state forces' were meant to distance himself from former President Moon. He said, "Everyone knows that the person who sang the song of a peace declaration and pleaded to lift sanctions on North Korea was former President Moon. This is a precise shot at him," adding, "So now President Yoon has completely drawn a line from former President Moon."
