As the controversy surrounding the profane language spoken by President Yoon Seok-yeol escalates day by day, former CEO Lee Jun-seok’s comments are being re-evaluated.
At the ‘Global Fund Financial Commitment Meeting’ held in New York on the 21st (local time), President Yoon Seok-yeol had a 48-second conversation with US President Joe Biden and then moved, and told Minister Foreigner Park Jin, who was next to him, “These XXs are not approved by the National Assembly. If you do, Biden will be embarrassed,” he said, and this scene was open to the press without any filtering.
As the debate grew due to the domestic and foreign media, Kim Eun-hye, a senior public relations officer, said at a press center briefing in New York, USA on the 22nd (local time), “Listen again now. The National Assembly (these XXs) don’t approve and say ‘if they blow it’.” He explained that President Yoon’s comments, which caused the ‘magic’ debate, related to this.
In response, the politicians, designated by the presidential office, expressed their position of ‘I’m sorry’.
Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, pointed out at a meeting of the Supreme Council of the National Assembly on the 23rd, “If you go the wrong way, the quickest solution is to come back.”
The floor leader of People’s Power, Joo Ho-young, said, “It would be a shame if the term meant the opposition in our National Assembly.”
In an online community, messages revisiting former People’s Power Lee Jun-seok’s press conference in August, when President Yoon’s use of profane language was controversial, appeared one after another as well.
The author of the post titled ‘Lee Jun-seok doesn’t lie’ said, “I’m supposed to tell the truth (in the conflict between President Yoon and Hee-kwan Yoon and former CEO Lee),” said in the press conference the former CEO Lee in the past Re-examined the fact that he criticized the president for using profane language.
In a press conference at the time, Lee said, “I heard that (President Yoon) called me ‘this XX, that XX’.
Regarding this situation, netizens showed reactions such as “(The content that former CEO Lee mentioned in a press conference in the past) was still telling the truth”, “Former CEO Lee is pathetic “, and “I think I will understand her feelings only now”.

The conflict situation between President Yoon and former CEO Lee is reminiscent of the situation during the presidential election between former President Lee Myung-bak and former President Park Geun-hye. The author also drew attention to it as ‘a competition where facts were won without making any concessions’.
In fact, the ‘likelihood of government nongdan by the family of Pastor Taemin Choi’ raised by former President Park Myung-bak in Lee Myung-bak’s camp at the time was raised as a ‘Choi Soon-sil government nongdan’ event. In addition, the suspicion of former President Lee’s ‘BBK Gate’ and Das’ real estate purchase raised in Park Geun-hye’s camp led to the ruling that ‘BBK and Das are the true owners of former President Lee’.
Just as the claims revealed by both camps at the time eventually turned out to be true, this ex-CEO Lee’s ‘the XX that XX’ revelation was also given more credence with the comments of the ‘XX this’ from President Yoon.
