On the 4th, former President Moon Jae-in, former head of the Blue House National Security Office, Suh Hoon, was arrested in connection with the murder of a public official in the West Sea. It’s such a pity to break such an asset,” he said.

Former President Moon said on Social Network Service (SNS) that day, “Director Seo Hoon is the best North Korea expert, strategist, and negotiator who participated in all North Korea negotiations under the Kim Dae-jung, Roh Moo-hyun, and Moon Jae-in administrations.” Regarding Seo, former President Moon said, “Even between South Korea and the United States, by establishing the best information cooperation relationship, close cooperation with the United States overcame the North Korean nuclear and missile crisis in the early days of the Moon Jae-in administration, and led to the Peace Olympics and the North Korea-US summit, leading to a great turn of peace. made it,” he said.

Former President Moon said, “The best negotiating strategy between South and North Korea and between South Korea and the United States is trust.” “Trust requires consistent efforts over a long period of time. When trust collapses once, it becomes more powerful,” he criticized the prosecution’s investigation into the murder of a public official in the West Sea.

Democratic Party lawmaker Park Beom-gye, who served as the last minister of justice in the Moon Jae-in administration, commented on this article, saying, “It is completely incomprehensible that the government is leading the crisis of trust.”

Previously, former President Moon said, “I express my deep concern over the reckless behavior that neutralizes the security system” over the prosecution’s investigation on the 1st, the day before the warrant review for former Chief Seo, and “I hope you do not cross the line.”

The ruling and opposition parties showed conflicting reactions when Seo was arrested on the 3rd. The Power of the People claimed that “former President Moon Jae-in was the final person responsible for driving to North Korea,” and the Democratic Party criticized it as “a political retaliation investigation whose conclusions were determined according to the taste of the regime.”

In a commentary, Park Jeong-ha, chief spokesman for People’s Power, said to former President Moon, “I said I would live a forgotten life, but it seems that a thief is restless as if a thief is shaking his feet.” Jang Dong-hyuk, spokesman for People’s Power, said, “Now, only one person remains beyond the line of truth, former President Moon.” will do,” he said.

The Democratic Party refuted that the arrest of former Chief Seo was an investigation into political retaliation. Democratic Party spokesman Lim Oh-gyeong said in a commentary, “It is difficult to understand that former Chief Seo was arrested for fear of destroying evidence.”

Rep. Yun Geon-young, who served as the head of the Blue House State Affairs Office in the Moon Jae-in administration, said on social media, “Who would want to devote himself to his country and country in a situation where an arrest warrant is requested for the best North Korea expert in Korea without any grounds, solely for political retaliation?” “Even the great resources within the NIS will be cautious and save themselves. I will only look at it,” he said.
