Lawmaker Accuses Roh Foundation of Promoting Ex-Chairman Yoo Si-min

South Korean lawmaker Kwak Sang-eon has raised concerns that the Roh Moo-hyun Foundation, established to honor the late former president, is being used to promote former chairman Yoo Si-min. Kwak, who is also the son-in-law of Roh Moo-hyun, pointed to the foundation's YouTube channel as a primary example.

He is hearing that he doesn't want to play.

During a YouTube live broadcast, Kwak stated that 68% of the videos on the foundation's channel feature Yoo Si-min, and these videos account for 76% of the total viewing time. "I don't know who the foundation is actually promoting," Kwak remarked, questioning the alignment of such content with the foundation's purpose.

It's not because I dislike him.

Kwak further questioned the appropriateness of using the foundation's material and personnel for what he described as Yoo's promotion. He used an analogy of a bakery that only talks about its owner instead of selling bread, suggesting the foundation has become a promotional entity for Yoo.

68% of the total number of videos and 76% of the time are related to Yoo Si-min.

The lawmaker also touched upon the financial aspect, noting that the YouTube channel has over a million subscribers and likely generates significant revenue. He expressed uncertainty about how these profits are managed. Kwak suggested that if the goal was to promote Yoo's content, a separate channel should have been created, rather than utilizing the foundation's platform.
