Former President Moon Jae-in's 'Pyeongsan Bookstore' has sold 80,000 books and welcomed 170,000 visitors within six months of opening. The best-selling book over the past month was former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk's "Tears of Dike."

According to Pyeongsan Bookstore's Facebook on the 28th, "From the 25th of last month to the 24th of this month, 11,523 books were sold, and 29,800 visitors came." The cumulative number of visitors reached 177,959, and the total books sold amounted to 83,360.

The best-selling book over the past month was Cho's "Tears of Dike," which ranked first in sales for the second consecutive month. Pyeongsan Bookstore plans to hold a "book signing event" with Cho on the 9th of next month.

Cho originally wrote "Tears of Dike" in 2014 and republished it with a 2023 perspective. It reflects his experiences over the past decade as Cho Kuk, a private individual, not as a Seoul National University law professor or Minister of Justice.

Amid rumors of Cho's possible candidacy in the general election, attention is focused on the meeting between Cho and former President Moon.
