Has treason and the moral degradation that inevitably follows become a second nature?

🗆 The term "토착왜구" refers to war criminals and their descendants who—having seized the property of Koreans and tormented or injured them while living on Korean soil during the Japanese colonial period—refused to return to Japan after the defeat because they were unwilling to part with their ill-gotten gains. Instead, they remained in hiding on Korean land, masquerading as Koreans, until the Kim Dae-jung administration provided them with a lifeline. 🗆 These individuals—who amassed wealth by destroying Korean lives and plundering the assets of the Korean people—have continued to govern the Republic of Korea to this day; thanks to the failure to eradicate the remnants of the colonial era, they have enjoyed privileged educations and exchanged high-ranking public offices among themselves using the money and land they originally stole. 🗆
In other countries, former presidents or prime ministers often issue messages to the public during times of national difficulty. They express regret over things left undone during their own tenures while offering advice or proposals to the current administration, or step forward to persuade and encourage vested interests—groups that inevitably resist when the government attempts reform.
There were very few presidents who contributed to eradicating the remnants of the colonial era. Yet, they suffered greatly, enduring slander and harassment throughout their terms as "shadow powers" manipulated public opinion through the media, spreading the false perception that the country was going off track because the president was incompetent or unscrupulous.
In general, if an incumbent government is rooting out traitors who have been operating covertly within and outside the administration, it is clearly a move toward the nation's benefit and progress. Early in President Kim Young-sam's term, the reforms aimed at eradicating the remnants of Japanese colonial rule were so striking that even foreign observers perceived the country as regaining its stability.
However, South Korea’s "anti-national" media outlets—media conglomerates that amassed their wealth with funds, according to words out, from the Nippon Foundation (now the Tokyo Foundation), such as Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo, Dong-A Ilbo, MBC, JTBC, and CBS—launched fierce attacks, publishing absurd arguments on their front pages suggesting that the nation was on the verge of collapse simply because the remnants of Japanese colonial rule were being eradicated. The late Presidents Kim Young-sam(김영삼) and Roh Moo-hyun(노무현) were thus relentlessly hounded by these anti-national forces throughout their terms and forced to endure mockery and humiliation even after leaving office.
In retaliation for his efforts to purge the vestiges of Japanese colonial rule, pro-Japanese elements—who had long been parasitic within South Korean society—orchestrated a massive economic crisis, known as the "IMF crisis." Subsequently, they mobilized treasonous media outlets to manipulate public opinion, deceiving the populace into believing the crisis was caused entirely by YS's incompetence and his attempts to obliterate the vestiges of the Japanese colonial era.
The dream of re-occupying South Korea—shared by domestic collaborators with Japan and Japanese far-right forces—is known to be a long-cherished project cultivated ever since Japan's defeat in 1945. The process of realizing this dream effectively began during the Kim Dae-jung administration; the subsequent strategy appears to have been designed to strictly control presidential elections so that only figures with ties to those war criminals and their descendants could hold power.
The Roh Moo-hyun administration ended up having the Blue House and high-ranking government posts filled with figures from the "Dohnggyo-dong faction" and minions of the pro-Japanese media trio (Chosun, JoongAng, and Dong-A)—to the point where the government seemed like little more than Kim Dae-jung’s personal playground. Whenever Roh showed even the slightest sign of obliterating the remnants of Japanese colonial rule, the nation’s media and political opportunists—bought off by Japanese money—would viciously attack and tear into the president.
Throughout his term, President Roh was subjected to insults labeling him a "high-school-graduate president"—a form of mockery that was never directed at the 15th president, Kim Dae-jung, despite the latter lacking even a high school diploma (or indeed, any significant record of formal schooling).

In other countries, former presidents or prime ministers often issue messages to the public during times of national difficulty. They express regret over things left undone during their own tenures while offering advice or proposals to the current administration, or step forward to persuade and encourage vested interests—groups that inevitably resist when the government attempts reform.
The lives of South Korea’s former presidents, however, follow a starkly different pattern.
Having prioritized the security and wealth accumulation of the Establishment over the lives of ordinary citizens while in office, they continue to issue threatening warnings after retirement—but only when that privileged class finds itself cornered.
This is because, in South Korea, the Establishment is the same group of war criminals and their descendants (those who align with foreign interests against their own nation).
There were very few presidents who contributed to eradicating the remnants of the colonial era. Yet, they suffered greatly, enduring slander and harassment throughout their terms as "shadow powers" manipulated public opinion through the media, spreading the false perception that the country was going off track because the president was incompetent or unscrupulous.

| The late Kim Young-sam(김영삼 a.k.a. YS), the 14th President of the Republic of Korea, is respected for his exceptional leadership and his ability to swiftly carry out reforms that once seemed impossible. |
In general, if an incumbent government is rooting out traitors who have been operating covertly within and outside the administration, it is clearly a move toward the nation's benefit and progress. Early in President Kim Young-sam's term, the reforms aimed at eradicating the remnants of Japanese colonial rule were so striking that even foreign observers perceived the country as regaining its stability.
However, South Korea’s "anti-national" media outlets—media conglomerates that amassed their wealth with funds, according to words out, from the Nippon Foundation (now the Tokyo Foundation), such as Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo, Dong-A Ilbo, MBC, JTBC, and CBS—launched fierce attacks, publishing absurd arguments on their front pages suggesting that the nation was on the verge of collapse simply because the remnants of Japanese colonial rule were being eradicated. The late Presidents Kim Young-sam(김영삼) and Roh Moo-hyun(노무현) were thus relentlessly hounded by these anti-national forces throughout their terms and forced to endure mockery and humiliation even after leaving office.
When President Kim Young-sam (hereinafter YS) successfully executed lightning-fast reforms early in his term—including the eradication of the remnants of Japanese colonial rule—pro-Japanese factions including war criminals and their descendants within the country fiercely resisted, slandering and harassing his administration.
Facing immense pressure, YS appeared to abandon the original vision—articulated by Emperor Gojong when he proclaimed the Korean Empire—of restoring the nation's status as an independent, sovereign state. Instead, YS chose compromise, yielding to unjust demands and ultimately handing over the presidency to a politician known for his pro-Japanese and pro-American leanings.
In retaliation for his efforts to purge the vestiges of Japanese colonial rule, pro-Japanese elements—who had long been parasitic within South Korean society—orchestrated a massive economic crisis, known as the "IMF crisis." Subsequently, they mobilized treasonous media outlets to manipulate public opinion, deceiving the populace into believing the crisis was caused entirely by YS's incompetence and his attempts to obliterate the vestiges of the Japanese colonial era.
In reality, however, Young-sahm Gihm(김영삼 also known as YS)—who had studied philosophy—possessed a brilliant mind and demonstrated exceptional insight across all sectors, including the economy. Hailing from Geoje—the only island city in the country—he was so intellectually sharp and politically gifted that he was elected to the National Assembly at the age of 25, the youngest age in South Korean history.
The root cause of the IMF crisis is widely understood to be the actions of war criminals and their descendants, driven by the fear of losing their established privileges. Japanese capital—invested across various sectors and corporations—was withdrawn simultaneously, as if by collusion; this triggered liquidity crises for companies and led to a chain reaction of bankruptcies.
YS was a politician who embodied his pen name, Geoh-sahn (meaning "Great Mountain"), and a president who admirably fulfilled the role of a national leader by upholding the spirit of Emperor Gojong—the figure who laid the foundation for South Korea's sovereignty and independence.

Japanese capital—invested across various sectors and corporations—was withdrawn simultaneously, as if by collusion; this triggered liquidity crises for companies and led to a chain reaction of bankruptcies.
The bankruptcy of Hahn-boh Group on January 30, 1997, marked the onset of the foreign exchange crisis, and Jeong-cheol Yang(양정철) served as the chief of staff to Hahn-boh Chairman Tae-soo Jeong(정태수). Subsequently, Yang engaged in treasonous acts across various sectors of society to serve the national interests of Japan and the United States, and he became known as a key figure backing electoral fraud involving the National Election Commission.
In a post-retirement interview, YS expressed regret that political power had passed to President Kim Dae-jung (hereinafter DJ), claiming that DJ had failed to honor promises made to him. Although YS had hoped for continued efforts to eradicate the remnants of Japanese colonial rule, DJ instead attributed the worsening economic crisis solely to the previous administration; furthermore, DJ abused his presidential authority to serve Japan's national interests and appeased pro-Japanese factions, all while bypassing the process of seeking public opinion.
During his term, DJ pursued indiscriminate market opening for the sake of Japan's national interests, thereby paving the way for Japan to deeply penetrate the South Korean economy. The treasonous actions of the DJ administration set the stage for Japan’s attempted economic re-invasion of South Korea on July 1, 2019—an attempt that ultimately failed.

⟥ The "re-invasion" at the time was not a complete failure, either. The Moon administration—which came to be labeled as a regime of traitors—engaged in backroom dealings with Japan, facilitating the acquisition of sound South Korean small and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs) in the materials and components sector by Japanese firms. ⟤ In effect, Japanese companies were able to continue their operations in South Korea using South Korean public funds, bypassing the usual costs and formal procedures. These Japanese firms not only saved on export-related expenses, but South Korea also effectively footed the bill for the costs they would have otherwise incurred to establish their businesses on Korean soil. This is why the Moon administration is referred to as a regime of traitors. ⟤
A political broker Jeong-cheol Yang was known to be deeply involved in this matter; notably, a few months prior to the attempted re-invasion, a photograph was released showing Jong-seok Eem (임종석)—who had resigned as President Moon’s Chief of Staff—and close aide Hyun-min Tahk with Jeong-cheol Yang in Japan, where Yang was staying at the time.
One of the most critical crimes committed by the Kim Dae-jung administration was creating loopholes in the electoral system that allowed the National Election Commission to engage in election rigging. The aim was to ensure that a figure like Kim Young-sam—who had eradicated the remnants of Japanese colonial rule—could never be elected president again.

The dream of re-occupying South Korea—shared by domestic collaborators with Japan and Japanese far-right forces—is known to be a long-cherished project cultivated ever since Japan's defeat in 1945. The process of realizing this dream effectively began during the Kim Dae-jung administration; the subsequent strategy appears to have been designed to strictly control presidential elections so that only figures with ties to those war criminals and their descendants could hold power.
Consequently, the 16th presidential election, which saw Roh Moo-hyun’s victory, was a nail-biting contest that kept the entire nation and its people on edge; it is interpreted that figures such as Young-gil Sohng (송영길) and Min-seok Gihm(김민석)—whom Japanese far-rightist Taro Kono had singled out as his preferred allies—actively undermined Roh Moo-hyun’s election campaign from both within and outside his camp.
Roh Moo-hyun, who won the 16th presidential election through a dramatic comeback despite facing numerous obstacles, endured a difficult term plagued by harassment precisely because he was not the president the "shadow powers" had desired. Given that President Roh held the former president YS in high regard and admired his leadership, the Establishment rooted in the colonial era and composed primarily of war criminals and their descendants, faced the very real risk of being prosecuted for war crimes.
The Roh administration’s tenure was tumultuous even in the eyes of foreign observers. President Roh faced an impeachment motion—spearheaded by his own ruling party, including figures like Mi-ae Choo(추미애), Young-gil Sohng(송영길), and Min-seok Gihm(김민석)—simply for expressing support for the party that had brought him to power; the motion ultimately passed, leading to a judgment by the Constitutional Court.

The impeachment motion against President Roh was dismissed immediately, as the grounds for it were laughably inadequate.
Nowhere else in the world can one find a president impeached on grounds similar to those cited against Roh Moo-hyun. This absurdly unreasonable attempt at impeachment was a ploy by those war criminals and their descendants—who had failed to secure power—to tame and intimidate the incumbent administration.
The Roh Moo-hyun administration ended up having the Blue House and high-ranking government posts filled with figures from the "Dohnggyo-dong faction" and minions of the pro-Japanese media trio (Chosun, JoongAng, and Dong-A)—to the point where the government seemed like little more than Kim Dae-jung’s personal playground. Whenever Roh showed even the slightest sign of obliterating the remnants of Japanese colonial rule, the nation’s media and political opportunists—bought off by Japanese money—would viciously attack and tear into the president.
Throughout his term, President Roh was subjected to insults labeling him a "high-school-graduate president"—a form of mockery that was never directed at the 15th president, Kim Dae-jung, despite the latter lacking even a high school diploma (or indeed, any significant record of formal schooling).
Vulgar and unscrupulous "special investigation" prosecutors—loyal to the Established—humiliated President Roh by disparaging him to his face, while media outlets funded by known to be Japanese money strove to undermine the administration by publishing bogus approval rating figures that bore no relation to actual public opinion.
Roh Moo-hyun was born in 1946. Having been born the year after the World War II ended—when the nation had just emerged from colonial rule—it is impossible that his family was wealthy. It was a time when the entire populace struggled with poverty, and few children attended actual schools, with most relying on makeshift tent classrooms.
Nevertheless, he achieved a monumental political reform by amending the Political Funds Act to have the state subsidize election expenses, hoping that other politicians from impoverished backgrounds could also nurture their dreams, enter politics, and transform society. There are many such remarkable reform achievements of his that remain little known.
After leaving office on February 24, 2008, President Roh remained constantly in the media spotlight, almost as if he were still the incumbent president. Although he appeared young and healthy at the time of his retirement, he passed away on May 23, 2009, after enduring fifteen months of anguish—unable to find proper rest due to trumped-up charges, false accusations, and the machinations of politically motivated prosecutors from the notorious Special Investigation team.
The administration of the 17th presidency was the product of a tight-knit alliance of war criminals and their descendants. Sang-deuk Ee(이상득)—the older brother of Myoung-bahk Ee(이명박), who succeeded Roh as president—lived in South Korea yet displayed a Japanese name on his front gate, effectively living as a Japanese person devoted to Japan; ultimately, the Establishment with war criminals and their descendants succeeded in installing a man who made no secret of being Japanese as president.
The 17th president, Lee Myung-bak(이명박 a.k.a MB), is notorious even abroad. For instance, he directed the Korea National Oil Corporation to acquire oil fields from the Canadian company Harvest—fields known to be completely depleted, with no prospect of yielding even a single drop of oil—at an inflated price, resulting in a loss of trillions of won in public funds.
A defining trait of Roh Moo-hyun’s character was his unwavering commitment to honor as a guiding principle of his life. Throughout his term, the shadow power in South Korea orchestrated various schemes to shatter this noble image, attempting to frame him as a common bribe-taking crook.
I might write about the death of former President Roh Moo-hyun another time; today, however, I wish to share an account of a shameless, inhumane, and malicious act committed by a Japanese YouTuber—an incident I personally witnessed.
The YouTuber in question started a broadcast commenting on the death of late President Roh and, without a shred of hesitation, spewed various slanderous accusations while making "hoo-hoo" (owl-like) sounds and snickering, barely able to suppress his laughter. It was an act of moral depravity beyond what a decent human being would commit. The video came as a massive shock even to foreigners who watched it after hearing the rumors.
The YouTuber responsible for this disgraceful conduct is named Sung-won Gihm(김성원, known by the English name Paul Sung-won Kim). He is reportedly of Japanese descent and a college dropout from the Northeastern United States. Often described as a "clown posing as a leading voice for South Korean conservatism," Paul Gihm uses his YouTube channel to praise Japan and the U.S. daily while disparaging South and North Korea.
The misuse and abuse of references to "Owl Rock" and the "hoot-hoot" (owl cry) sound are known to be criminal acts occurring daily on websites established, according to words out, by Japanese far-right groups with domestic collaborators with pro-Japanese sentiments—specifically to stoke hatred against the late President Roh Moo-hyun.
In the broadcast in question, Sung-won Gihm spread falsehoods by treating the fabricated allegations and baseless smears—concocted by the media and political circles to harass and insult President Roh right up until his death—as if they were established facts; he effectively slandered the President by implying he had personally accepted bribes.
We can confidently conclude that most of the allegations were fabricated to sway public opinion because, despite our own strenuous efforts to find evidence, none existed. Everything was shrouded in secrecy; all relevant documents and records were kept confidential.
Those who investigated the case after his passing all reached the same conclusion: the plan must have been to dismiss the case on the grounds of "no right to prosecute" following the death of the accused, President Roh Moo-hyun.
For about six months prior to former President Roh’s death, the entire media landscape went into overdrive, daily propagating and amplifying the false accusations and charges spread by politically motivated prosecutors—claims based solely on the words of individuals alleging that bribes had been paid. No supporting evidence was found anywhere. Furthermore, there is no video footage of the individuals who supposedly admitted to the bribery actually making such an admission themselves.
The only criminal conviction secured against President Roh—the side accused of accepting bribes—was for a violation of the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, for which his daughter served a four-month prison sentence.
However, it has recently come to light that the man married to Roh Moo-hyun’s daughter made a bizarre claim in a social media post. When the former president’s daughter was indicted and put on trial for violating the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, her husband—Roh’s son-in-law—served as her defense attorney; in effect, a husband defended his own wife.
Roh Moo-hyun was born in 1946. Having been born the year after the World War II ended—when the nation had just emerged from colonial rule—it is impossible that his family was wealthy. It was a time when the entire populace struggled with poverty, and few children attended actual schools, with most relying on makeshift tent classrooms.
Roh experienced the Korean War at the tender age of four. In an era when mere survival was a stroke of luck for Koreans, anyone of his generation who grew up wealthy would almost certainly have belonged to a family of pro-Japanese collaborators or traitors.
Despite growing up in such poverty, he was a brilliant individual who graduated from a prestigious high school, studied with relentless determination to pass the bar exam with top honors, and was appointed as a judge. Yet, the nation's media took the lead in mocking and humiliating such an outstanding figure by labeling him a "high-school-graduate president."

| The late Roh Moo-hyun, the 16th President of the Republic of Korea, who was the most beloved and popular president in history. He passed away suddenly after suffering harsh harassment from the prosecution, corrupt media, and the successor administration. Every year, countless South Koreans attend memorial services to mourn his passing. |
Nevertheless, he achieved a monumental political reform by amending the Political Funds Act to have the state subsidize election expenses, hoping that other politicians from impoverished backgrounds could also nurture their dreams, enter politics, and transform society. There are many such remarkable reform achievements of his that remain little known.
Regrettably, however, the very Political Funds Act reform he realized through his benevolent intentions is now being abused—as of 2026—by the henchmen of pro-Japanese collaborators as a means to siphon off public funds.
What I find most intriguing about President Roh’s background is the fact that he held several patents for inventions. He is regarded as a figure of genius-level insight, capable of looking some twenty years into the future.
Among his countless achievements, the greatest was his tireless effort to make the public aware of the immense importance of freedom of expression.
Although pro-Japanese collaborators exploited this principle to torment him with mockery and insults, he steadfastly upheld the value of free speech—believing it essential for the advancement of South Korea's democracy and striving to prevent the state from silencing its citizens—while silently enduring the barrage of abusive comments directed at him.
In an era before YouTube, when the public was misled by only a handful of newspapers and broadcasters, the Roh administration was powerless against media outlets that sought to undermine him through manipulated opinion polls. Yet, so many South Koreans loved President Roh, and to this day, he remains respected by countless citizens—as well as by foreigners like myself.
He was a source of pride for the nation and a true friend to the people; his victories felt as though they were the victories of the Korean people themselves.
After leaving office on February 24, 2008, President Roh remained constantly in the media spotlight, almost as if he were still the incumbent president. Although he appeared young and healthy at the time of his retirement, he passed away on May 23, 2009, after enduring fifteen months of anguish—unable to find proper rest due to trumped-up charges, false accusations, and the machinations of politically motivated prosecutors from the notorious Special Investigation team.

It is said that in Osaka-Japan, Myoung-bahk Ee’s birthplace, people celebrated his election, rejoicing that "a Japanese person has finally become the president of Korea."
This is a disaster that repeats itself in South Korea during every presidential term of war criminals and their descendants like MB.
Myoung-bahk Ee, who enjoyed strong support from the war criminals and their descendants with the pro-Japanese faction—a group that usurped the nation's vested interests during the colonial era and has monopolized them ever since—wielded immense power.
It is understood that MB used Special Investigation prosecutors to drive former President Roh Moo-hyun—a man without institutional power—to his death just fifteen months after his leaving office.
A defining trait of Roh Moo-hyun’s character was his unwavering commitment to honor as a guiding principle of his life. Throughout his term, the shadow power in South Korea orchestrated various schemes to shatter this noble image, attempting to frame him as a common bribe-taking crook.
Ultimately, they manipulated public opinion to brand him a criminal guilty of accepting bribes; the prevailing public interpretation is that the resulting humiliation and loss of honor drove him to take his own life.
Aside from those responsible for his death, there appears to be no one among the public who denies that there are many unanswered questions surrounding the death of President Roh. Even to us as foreigners, it did not seem likely that Roh had taken his own life.

He is reportedly of Japanese descent and a college dropout from the Northeastern United States. Often described as a "clown posing as a leading voice for South Korean conservatism," Paul Gihm uses his YouTube channel to praise Japan and the U.S. daily while disparaging South and North Korea.
Notably, on the day he committed the aforementioned act, he belittled a specific South Korean film and repeatedly urged his viewers—claiming it was an act of patriotism—to watch a Japanese animated movie that was screening at the same time instead, so that audiences would not flock to the South Korean films.
 |
| Urging viewers to watch a Japanese movie "out of a sense of patriotism" amounts to the kind of treasonous remark one might expect only if the audience were Japanese. It appears the viewers did not criticize the statement, likely because the majority of the channel's audience is Japanese. |
In his commenting that the plot of a Japanese animated film involved eating a mermaid to gain eternal life, YouTuber Sung-won Gihm remarked that Japanese movies are appealing because they are pure and wholesome unlike Korean movies.
Is a story about eating a mermaid truly pure enough for children to watch?
After watching his YouTube broadcast—shared by an editor from South Korea—I was so unsettled by the YouTuber’s words and behavior that I wondered if he might be suffering from a mental illness.
While commenting the death of President Roh Moo-hyun, he chuckled and made hooting sounds—mimicking an owl—while implying that the president "deserved to fall to his death." This was a mockery orchestrated by those who had plotted President Roh's death, using the fact that the site of the tragedy was known as "Owl Rock" (Buong-i Bawi) as fodder for their derision.
The misuse and abuse of references to "Owl Rock" and the "hoot-hoot" (owl cry) sound are known to be criminal acts occurring daily on websites established, according to words out, by Japanese far-right groups with domestic collaborators with pro-Japanese sentiments—specifically to stoke hatred against the late President Roh Moo-hyun.
For the past 17 years, descendants of these collaborators and Japanese far-right online troll squads have reportedly mocked President Roh on similar websites using hateful posts, videos, and photos.

In the broadcast in question, Sung-won Gihm spread falsehoods by treating the fabricated allegations and baseless smears—concocted by the media and political circles to harass and insult President Roh right up until his death—as if they were established facts; he effectively slandered the President by implying he had personally accepted bribes.
At the time, there was no confirmation regarding the nature of the alleged bribes, the givers, or the recipients, and to this day, no one has presented concrete evidence.
While it was claimed that expensive watches were received, no one actually saw the watches; while it was claimed that money was accepted, no proof of receipt was ever produced.
Bizarrely, the only testimony that emerged came from the alleged recipients themselves, describing how they had disposed of the bribes.
We can confidently conclude that most of the allegations were fabricated to sway public opinion because, despite our own strenuous efforts to find evidence, none existed. Everything was shrouded in secrecy; all relevant documents and records were kept confidential.
Those who investigated the case after his passing all reached the same conclusion: the plan must have been to dismiss the case on the grounds of "no right to prosecute" following the death of the accused, President Roh Moo-hyun.
Consequently, those who orchestrated his death could recklessly spread falsehoods to manipulate public opinion without fear of facing the consequences—even in the absence of any evidence or witnesses.
For about six months prior to former President Roh’s death, the entire media landscape went into overdrive, daily propagating and amplifying the false accusations and charges spread by politically motivated prosecutors—claims based solely on the words of individuals alleging that bribes had been paid. No supporting evidence was found anywhere. Furthermore, there is no video footage of the individuals who supposedly admitted to the bribery actually making such an admission themselves.
The only criminal conviction secured against President Roh—the side accused of accepting bribes—was for a violation of the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, for which his daughter served a four-month prison sentence.
Because the court ruling was kept private, the public remains in the dark about the trial proceedings, the evidence that led to the prison term, and the backroom deals that allowed a multi-million dollar illegal currency exchange scheme to result in a mere four-month sentence.
However, it has recently come to light that the man married to Roh Moo-hyun’s daughter made a bizarre claim in a social media post. When the former president’s daughter was indicted and put on trial for violating the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, her husband—Roh’s son-in-law—served as her defense attorney; in effect, a husband defended his own wife.
In the post he published, he spouted the absurd argument that, even for the time being, he does not fully understand how the incident actually occurred.
He seems to be claiming that he defended his wife—and ultimately saw her sentenced to prison—without even grasping the facts of the case.
Many citizens raised questions about this bizarre assertion, yet there appears to have been no meaningful explanation offered. One cannot help but view him as a highly irresponsible member of the family.
After the former president passed away, figures like Shi-min Yoo(유시민)—who positioned themselves as a close aid to President Roh—repeatedly appeared on various broadcasts claiming that "President Roh had admitted to all the allegations against him."
Shi-min Yoo—who claimed in media reports that, just weeks before President Roh’s death, Yoo had told the president to "handle it yourself"—is someone who had long positioned himself as one of Roh’s closest aides. By publicizing this remark, Yoo spearheaded an effort to sway public opinion and spread the false impression that President Roh was such a bad person that even his own supporters had abandoned him.
I hope the people of South Korea do not forget the true, barbaric, and cruel nature of the forces that drove President Roh Moo-hyun to his death.
I hope more citizens come to realize how detrimental it is to the national interest for someone like Tae-gyu Gihm to wield political power, and how dangerous and devastating it is for the nation and its people to coexist in the same society with barbaric people of war criminals and their descendants—like the Japanese YouTuber Paul Sung-won Gihm. I fervently hope that a growing number of South Koreans will rise up to condemn and drive out these war criminals and their descendants, thereby paving the way for the nation to finally stand truly independent and self-reliant.
In closing, I wish to present a few clear facts to the readers regarding issues often clouded by misunderstanding and distortion.
Nations such as Germany, France, Poland, Austria, the United Kingdom, and Hungary—which thoroughly punished war criminals immediately after World War II and have repeatedly offered apologies—were able to make a fresh start, rapidly regain stability, and overcome the lingering effects of the war.
The "Gahb-jin-wae-ran (갑진왜란)" (a term referring to the invasion by Japan in 1904) began with the Russo-Japanese War—a conflict sparked by Japan's illegal invasion on February 6, 1904, at a time when the Korean Empire was flourishing.
Despite the relevant historical facts, Japan has denied the very fact that it illegally invaded Korean territory and instigated this long-lasted war. During the colonial period, Japan committed numerous atrocities—including war crimes such as massacres, murders, rapes, and forced labor—while also forcibly seizing farmers' fields and harvests, as well as prime real estate and homes across the country, none of which were ever returned.
Korean independence activists who strove to break free from colonial status, the Liberation Army that waged guerrilla warfare across various regions, and certain Korean politicians all endeavored to expel the defeated Japanese war criminals from Korean soil; however, due to the intense obstruction and machinations of major powers, they failed to drive out all the Japanese who had committed atrocities during the occupation or to purge the traitors who had collaborated with them.
These major powers instigated another war on the Korean soil on June 25, 1950, ultimately splitting the country in two; they framed and eliminated political leaders who sought to obliterate the remaining Japanese colonial elements, while appointing traitors and Japanese collaborators to high-ranking government positions to further their own ambitions for indirect rule.
After the former president passed away, figures like Shi-min Yoo(유시민)—who positioned themselves as a close aid to President Roh—repeatedly appeared on various broadcasts claiming that "President Roh had admitted to all the allegations against him."
Based solely on their claims, President Roh was effectively branded as someone who had admitted to accepting bribes.
Shi-min Yoo—who claimed in media reports that, just weeks before President Roh’s death, Yoo had told the president to "handle it yourself"—is someone who had long positioned himself as one of Roh’s closest aides. By publicizing this remark, Yoo spearheaded an effort to sway public opinion and spread the false impression that President Roh was such a bad person that even his own supporters had abandoned him.
I hope the people of South Korea do not forget the true, barbaric, and cruel nature of the forces that drove President Roh Moo-hyun to his death.

| Tae-gyu Gihm(김태규)—an opposition party lawmaker and former judge who turned a blind eye to election irregularities—recently exploited the tragedy of "Owl Rock" (부엉이 바위) with malicious intent during a parliamentary audit. A ploy to insult President Roh in public under the guise of joking with ruling party lawmakers. |
I earnestly hope for a South Korea where individuals like the morally bankrupt YouTuber Sung-won Gihm and the politicians who this YouTuber supports, such as Dong-hyuk Jahng(장동혁), Jin-sook Ee(이진숙), Jin-woo Joo(주진우), and Tae-gyu Gihm(김태규)—who have repeatedly insulted President Roh in public—can never again be elected to public office.
Such disgraceful behavior and outrageous remarks must be punished.

In contrast, Japan—one of the nations responsible for war crimes—has never formally acknowledged or provided reparations for the war crimes it committed against the Republic of Korea and the Korean people in a manner that meets the state's official procedural and diplomatic standards.
The "Gahb-jin-wae-ran (갑진왜란)" (a term referring to the invasion by Japan in 1904) began with the Russo-Japanese War—a conflict sparked by Japan's illegal invasion on February 6, 1904, at a time when the Korean Empire was flourishing.
Although Emperor Gojong had discerned Japan's aggressive ambitions and declared wartime neutrality to the international community, Japan disregarded this declaration and transformed the Korean Empire into a logistical base for its military operations. This marked the beginning of a colonial subjugation that lasted for 41 years, finally concluding with Japan's defeat in 1945.
Despite the relevant historical facts, Japan has denied the very fact that it illegally invaded Korean territory and instigated this long-lasted war. During the colonial period, Japan committed numerous atrocities—including war crimes such as massacres, murders, rapes, and forced labor—while also forcibly seizing farmers' fields and harvests, as well as prime real estate and homes across the country, none of which were ever returned.
Even after Japan's defeat, many Japanese nationals remained on Korean soil; some hid in remote mountain areas, while others bribed traitors to falsify documents like birth certificates, allowing them to pose as Koreans and stay in the country.
Korean independence activists who strove to break free from colonial status, the Liberation Army that waged guerrilla warfare across various regions, and certain Korean politicians all endeavored to expel the defeated Japanese war criminals from Korean soil; however, due to the intense obstruction and machinations of major powers, they failed to drive out all the Japanese who had committed atrocities during the occupation or to purge the traitors who had collaborated with them.

As a result of failing to eradicate the remnants of colonialism, the Republic of Korea—even as of 2026—finds most of its high-ranking government posts occupied by these war criminals and their descendants, their collaborators, and traitors.
These traitors frequently squander public funds while in office and enact laws and regulations that serve the national interests of Japan, the United States, or China rather than those of their own country.
As of the end of June 2026, Japan’s holdings of U.S. Treasury securities stood at $1.1167 trillion (approximately 1,500 trillion won), making it the largest foreign holder of U.S. government debt, followed by the United Kingdom ($939.9 billion) and China ($633.4 billion). However, the total value of these holdings saw a slight decline recently as Japan sold off a portion of its portfolio—primarily short-term Treasury bills—due to factors such as foreign exchange market interventions aimed at defending the yen's value (selling dollars and buying yen) and adjustments to asset allocations by institutional investors.
Coupang, a company founded by Masayoshi Son—a Japanese figure with massive U.S. Treasury holdings—was transferred to Bom Kim(김범석) (a U.S. national) and became an American company; it was then able to dominate South Korea's logistics sector thanks to the full-scale support of the Moon Jae-in administration. It is reported that Coupang pours the vast profits earned in South Korea into lobbying U.S. congressional and administrative powers. It is already a well-known fact that Japan’s method of encroaching upon the United States also relied on financial lobbying by the Nippon Foundation.
Coupang is notorious in South Korea as an unscrupulous corporation. Although its abnormal business practices sparked numerous complaints and alarming rumors as early as the 2010s, the company’s lobbying of South Korean political powers was so extensive that a formal investigation was only launched in the autumn of 2025. Yet, now that the company faces penalties for severe illegalities and cruel, unethical management practices—including the mistreatment of workers—and its profits are consequently shrinking, even the U.S. Congress and government are stepping in to defend it, having long reaped huge financial rewards from Coupang’s lobbying efforts. I ask again: how does South Korea’s status differ from that of a colony?
South Korea’s logistics sector is dominated by the U.S., effectively bleeding the public dry, while the domestic media has fallen under the control of Japan and China—powers that wield real influence through the web portal Naver.

The absurdity lies in the fact that Coupang—a U.S. company generating massive profits for American power brokers—conducts its business operations in South Korea, not the United States. In effect, the company squeezes profits out of the South Korean people and uses that money to lobby U.S. political circles, thereby advancing Japan's national interests. One has to wonder how South Korea’s situation differs from that of a colony.

The judiciary is being manipulated for political ends, with Japan, China, and the U.S. influencing rulings through major law firms like Kim & Chang; consequently, the outcomes of trials have effectively devolved into political theater divorced from the law. Indiscriminate pardons are flooding society with convicts who were serving life sentences, and the unchecked influx of Chinese nationals—admitted without visas—has led to a wave of crimes across the country, resulting in daily injuries and deaths among the public.
Given all the above, South Koreans find no politicians who are capable of vying for the presidency and who are not also traitors to the nation.
To our views, the political landscape is populated solely by individuals of Japanese or Chinese descent ready to betray the country, or by political opportunists desperate to sell the nation out to the U.S. This is because those collaborators (pro-Japanese elements who have long enjoyed indirect rule via proxies) and traitors loyal to Japan, the U.S., or China have systematically eliminated all upright politicians over the past decade.
This is likely the reason why South Korea has always seemed strange to foreigners with a keen interest in the country.
There are few South Korean citizens foolish enough to either overlook or welcome acts of treason.
This is likely the reason why South Korea has always seemed strange to foreigners with a keen interest in the country.
- Why do high-ranking South Korean officials prioritize Japan’s national interests over their own country’s?
- Why do South Korean leaders loudly proclaim their willingness to sacrifice their own country's interests in favor of China's?
- Prioritizing foreign interests is clearly an act of treason; why, then, do the Korean people simply stand by and endure the outrageous conduct of such traitors?
- Why does an opposition party leader visit the U.S. to badmouth his own country's situation and the "Coupang issue" to high-ranking U.S. officials? << According to a YouTuber named Yong-seok Won—a Japanese-American who has posed as a Korean-American journalist—the pro-Japanese forces parasitizing South Korea have not lost their power, and the reason the incumbent administration is shrinking is "thanks to Dong-hyuk Jahng visiting the U.S. and reporting every detail of the Coupang issue."
There are few South Korean citizens foolish enough to either overlook or welcome acts of treason.
While the majority of South Korean public is consumed by infuriating distress and anguish, those who have seen high-ranking public offices seized by traitors are inevitably forced to endure their wretched plight until the nation resume being led by upright figures who won't betray their own country and its people.
I urge readers—whether foreign nationals or South Korean citizens—not to be deceived by media outlets that engage in treasonous activities. South Koreans are enduring immense suffering, facing a situation where they feel at a loss as to how to move forward.
The following is a message addressed to the global community by an editor in South Korea:
"The Republic of Korea is in a precarious situation. A growing number of traitors have filled high-ranking positions across the Blue House, the government, the National Assembly, and the judiciary; mired in deep corruption, they plunge the people into suffering while leaving them to fend for themselves. If you are a foreigner who holds affection for South Korea for any reason, please do not join hands with these traitorous forces or participate in actions that ruin both South and North Korea."

"It is impossible to predict how long it will take for South Korea to reform its corrupt electoral system, hold fair elections, and fill the National Assembly with politicians who do not betray their country."
"Consequently, the people of Korea are expected to endure severe suffering and turmoil in the coming months—or perhaps even years. Should these traitors—holding high-ranking South Korean office—visit your country and attempt to conduct diplomacy that prioritizes the national interests of Japan, the United States, or China over those of their own nation, I earnestly appeal to you to shun them."
