▶Then, the next day, the 4th, President Lim Hyun-taek posted a post on Facebook at around 10:01 am, indirectly referring to Mayor Hong Joon-pyo by saying, “It is shocking that a person who participated in an i sex crimes using pig flair run for president and become mayor.” .

Regarding his previous remarks about “doctors who are public figures” and the “Hippocratic Oath”, he said: “Doctors who do not receive a single penny from taxes are considered public figures and the Hippocratic Oath. That is why, even after decades of politics, there is no one around them to follow them.” Mayor Hong Jun-pyo’s own political life was evaluated.

In addition, President Lim Hyun-taek also released the full text of “The Story of Pig Stimulants” from the autobiography “I Want to Go Back” published in 2005 by Mayor Hong Jun-pyo, which sparked the so-called ” controversy over pig stimulants”. ‘.

As follows.

history of the pig stimulant

It happened in a guesthouse across from Korea University when I was a freshman in college.

My roommate at the boarding house was a first-year student in S University’s College of Commerce who graduated from a prestigious local high school, and this friend had a huge crush on a girl who graduated from a prestigious high school local female and was in home economics department of the same college. But it seemed that the girl did not pay attention to this friend.

Not long before Yushin happened in October, my friend asked us what we decided to do. He will soon go on a picnic with the Home Economics Department in Wolmido, Incheon, and this time he wants to make that girl his person. So I asked my roommates to get me some stimulants. After some thought, our fellow boarders decided to get us a stimulant.

Finally the day of the decisive battle arrived, and he went out with a solemn feeling and did not return until late at night. He came back at 12pm and as soon as he arrived he was crying and making a fuss. His face was covered in scratches and his shirt was torn to shreds. After hearing the story, I found out that the stimulant was fake.

After Wolmido’s picnic, he took the girl to a draft beer shop and successfully mixed the draft beer with a stimulant without her knowing. He took the fallen girl to the inn, but when he tried to take off her clothes, she woke up and scratched and bit him, which failed. The friend’s argument was that if the stimulant had been real, it could not have failed. So we said, “That’s not possible. It’s a stimulant that’s given to pigs in the country, and they say it works on people too. It’s used when raising pigs, but I hear it excites people too. Haven’t you heard?”

So later we heard from a fellow boarder who was looking for stimulants that “those stimulants are only for male pigs, not for sows”. As a joke, I took a stimulant that I didn’t even take. The friend, however, misunderstood that the fact that he had collapsed in a state of intoxication was due to the action of a stimulant. I don’t know what happened to that friend with that girl after that.

If I go back, I will never participate in something like this. I did it as a joke, but only after I became a prosecutor did I understand how serious the mistake was.

▶As the attacks against him continued based on this article from his autobiography, Mayor Hong Jun-pyo expressed his position several times.

In particular, he actively refuted cases where he distorted the content of the article and called himself a “conspirator of sexual crimes.”

It was a mistake from 45 years ago. L ‘I have already confessed it myself 12 years ago. “I have asked for forgiveness.
