Yoo Si-min, former chairman of the Roh Moo-hyung Foundation, who was selected as the ‘political security officer’ of the late former president Roh Moo-hyun, is again going to comment on politics.
According to officials from Yoo’s side on the 8th, he appeared on MBC radio’s ‘Kim Jong-bae’s Focus’ on the morning of the 9th and had a conversation with the host on the topic of ‘Talking about Lee Jae-myung’.
For about 50 minutes, former Chairman Yoo will reveal his relationship with Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung and his thoughts on his political career.
Former Chairman Yoo will resume his activities as a political critic, starting with his broadcast appearance on the same day.
It is said that he has signed a contract to appear on a TV show from the end of the year and to criticize politics until the election.
However, an official from Yoo’s side drew a line on the phone call that day, saying, “It is only resuming political criticism now that the term of the chairman of the Roh Moo-hyung Foundation is over.”
The official said, “It is the consistent view of former Chairman Yoo that he will not go into politics,” and “I will not participate in Lee’s election.”
Previously, in mid-April last year, former chairman Yoo announced his retirement as a political critic in his YouTube broadcast ‘Alileo’, saying, “I will not do political criticism, current affairs discussions, interviews, etc. through established media.”
Since then, former Chairman Yoo has focused only on reading reviews in ‘Alileo’.
On November 12, Lee invited candidate Lee to ‘Alileo’ and had a conversation with Lee about ‘The Man Who Left With Nine Pairs of Shoes’, a novel by Heung-gil Yoon.
