It is known that former President Moon Jae-in mentioned that he was “serious” in relation to the recent controversy over the Board of Audit and Inspection, such as the ‘text message’ incident of Yoo Byung-ho, secretary-general of the Board of Audit and Inspection.
According to the Democratic Party on the 12th, lawmaker Jeon Hae-cheol of ‘pro-mun’ (pro-munjae-in) visited his sister-in-law in Pyeongsan Village, Yangsan, Gyeongsangnam-do on the 8th to prevent former President Moon and talk regarding the recent controversy surrounding the Board of Audit and Inspection.
It is reported that former President Moon was concerned regarding the audit of the Board of Audit and Inspection for the shooting of a public official in the West Sea, and the text messages exchanged by Secretary-General Yoo with Lee Kwan-seop, the head of state affairs at the presidential office, were “serious”.
President Moon also reportedly agreed with the former lawmaker’s point, saying, “I think announcing the results of the interim investigation into the shooting of a public official in the West Sea has political intentions.”
The former lawmaker also expressed concerns regarding this by releasing three photos of the day he took precautions once morest former President Moon Jae-in on his Facebook page the day before. “I met President Moon Jae-in while visiting Yangsan’s private residence,” said former lawmaker, looking back.
“It is a pity that even the peaceful daily life that the President so longed for has become difficult due to inhumane events such as gatherings near his residence and the recent written investigation by the Board of Audit and Inspection,” he said. Is it that difficult to be treated with the minimum courtesy to you? My heart is heavy,” he added.
Previously, on the 30th of last month, when the Board of Audit and Inspection notified a written investigation into the shooting of a public official in the West Sea on the 30th of last month, former President Moon Jae-in expressed his discomfort by saying that it was “very rude”.
