“Key figure in the ‘Kim Geon-hee nomination intervention suspicion,’ Myung Tae-gyun, mentioned in the text messages publicly released on the 15th, indirectly refuted the claim made by the Blue House that the ‘oppa’ referred to in the messages was the ‘close oppa’ of Kim Geon-hee, former head of Covana Contents, as identified by Jun Suk Lee of the Reform New Party mentioned in the messages.
On the 15th, Myung Tae-gyun posted on his Facebook, stating, ‘I do not know any other person whom Kim Geon-hee refers to as ‘oppa.’ I have not met or conversed with them. Of course, I have nothing to apologize for.’
Regarding the person referred to as ‘oppa’ among those Myung Tae-gyun met or conversed with, there is only one person. This implies that Myung Tae-gyun has not met or talked with the ‘close oppa’ of Kim Geon-hee, the former head.
Given that Myung Tae-gyun mentioned ‘Jun-seok’ in the messages, the person referred to as ‘oppa,’ who is likely to know ‘Jun-seok,’ decreases the possibility that the person Kim Geon-hee referred to as ‘oppa’ is the ‘close oppa.’
In the previous messages, the lawmaker wrote, “Oppa has always been talking recklessly throughout the election period, so from the public messages, I cannot know what specific content ‘oppa’ referred to accidents.” However, he also wrote, “The First Lady’s perception is a fact. It is true that ‘oppa’ was reckless from before joining the party until after being elected.”
Myung shared a photo captured from a conversation with a contact saved under the name ‘Kim Geon-hee/First Lady (President Yoon Seok-yeol).’ Myung stated, “Tomorrow, when I meet Jun-seok, the accurate answer will come out. I will contact you tomorrow.” The contact in the photo said to Myung, “Please forgive our oppa, who talks recklessly,” “If he is ignorant, that’s just how he is. I will apologize,” “Our oppa didn’t understand. Who does he think he is?”
They also commented on Myung, saying, “You’re going through a lot,” “I fully rely on Teacher Myung,” and “I guarantee that Teacher Myung’s insight is the most excellent. He is the one who can solve it.”
After the messages were made public, a Blue House official refuted, saying, “‘Oppa’ mentioned in the text messages from Myung Tae-gyun’s KakaoTalk is the brother of Kim Geon-hee, not the President,” and added, “The conversation at that time was just a private conversation before the President joined the party.” From this refutation, it can be seen that the captured conversation shared by Myung Tae-gyun matches the conversation with Kim Geon-hee, the former head.”
