Former President Moon Unhappy that Government Agency Trying to Investigate Him
It appears this whole investigation of the fishery official killed by North Korea has turned political. I say this because there is really no way to prove definitively that this guy was trying to defect or not since he left no note or any other evidence stating he was doing so. That left the Moon administration to make an assessment on how this guy ended up in the water. Maybe there assessment was wrong, but it doesn’t mean it was criminal:
Former President Moon Jae-in said the state audit agency’s recent attempt to question him over a South Korean fisheries official killed by North Korea in 2020 is “very rude,” according to Rep. Youn Kun-young, his former aide.

The lawmaker of the main opposition liberal Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) told reporters at the National Assembly, Monday, that Moon said it was “very rude” and improper for the Board of Audit and Inspection (BAI) to call him and send him an official email regarding the case.
After receiving the email on Sept. 28, the office of Moon’s secretary told the institution two days later that he will not answer any of its questions.
The 47-year-old fisheries official, who was unarmed, was killed in September 2020 by the North Korean military while adrift in the North’s territorial waters and his body was incinerated afterwards. It was initially concluded that he was killed during his attempt to defect to the North. But the story took a drastic turn as the military and police, under the Yoon Suk-yeol government, said there was not sufficient evidence that he was intentionally trying to cross the border. Over the past few months, the prosecution has been looking into who was involved in drawing that conclusion.
“The BAI appears to try to curry favor with the people in power despite its duty to maintain political neutrality. We should find the whole truth behind this,” Youn said.
More than 10 lawmakers, who worked for the previous administration, appeared at the press conference where they vowed to fight against what they described as “political retaliation” by the Yoon administration.

Awww… Poor little tyrant doesn’t like what he gave his predecessors…
When you try to turn your country into a banana republic, don’t complain when you get the same dish served to you.
Mind you, we’re seeing the beginnings of that in America, so I expect we’ll all be welded into concentration camp housing shortly.
Or at least in SpongeBribem Puddingpants’ handlers’ fantasies.
C’est la vie. We all get what we allow.
I will admit that former Pres. Moon didn’t do a good job running the country.
He alienated the 20~30 male voters by adopting policies that favored females at the expense of the males.
He simply watched as his appointees incompetently handled and flubbed major policies like the real estate policy.
He let his stubborness get the best of him in terms of the disastorous appointment of Cho Kuk as Justice Minister and Yoon Seok-ryeol as Chief Prosecutor, whom would later leverage his position and spat with the DPK to become PPP candidate and President.
He also let the supporters get the best of him in regards to his handling of relations with Japan.
But, the guy was no tyrant.
As for former Pres. Park and Lee, it was current Pres. Yoon who as prosecutor, prosecuted and jailed them.
A lot of people seem to forget or overlook that little fact.
“But, the guy was no tyrant.”
…because restrictions on being minimally social or buying food if you refuse to be a test subject in a clearly failing medical experiment are… are… are…
TOK, my desire to say something profane to you for such an ignorant statement is only tempered by the fact that you are right.
The guy was no tyrant… at least not professionally.
He was an anti-Korean globalist stooge doing the bidding on the corporatists on an macro level while managing the local necessities of his personal politics at home.
His tyrannical behaviors for the sake of tyranny were possibly not in his heart. But his desire to please his international masters were great enough that he destroyed small business, set the economy back, injured government with debt, tore at the social fabric and divided society, attempted to cripple Korea’s strongest asset of education, forced separation of friends and families, pushed everyone into being a medical test subject of a clearly failed experiment with unknown long-term damage on the population, etc.
And all this was backed by the force of the state… fines and imprisonment for non-compliance.
So even if he is no tyrant, this is pretty tyrannical behavior.
You might be able to make that statement but it requires a lot of conditions.
But his desire to please his international masters were great enough that he destroyed small
@ChickenHead or should I say setnaffa
I see your head is still deep inside Covid conspiracy theories.
Considering that your definition of a tyant is someone “who has a desire to please his international masters” and considering that Yoon has a desire to please his American and Japanese masters, we can all agree by your logic that Yoon is a tyrant.
