Reporter Kim Yoon Na-young
"I was kicked out of Cheong Wa Dae after preparing intelligence on a high-ranking official from the ruling party," said an investigator under investigation after being sent to a special inspection team of the presidential office for anti-corruption and civil affairs. When Kim raised the issue of "disposal of duties" of presidential chief of staff Lim Jong-seok and senior presidential secretary for civil affairs Cho Kuk, the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae responded with all-out effort, saying, "I will take legal responsibility for the leakage of false information."

The Chosun Ilbo reported on Tuesday an inspection report titled, "The State of Russia's ambassador-designated Woo Yoon-geun's acceptance of money and valuables," which was written by Kim in 2017. The report said Ambassador Woo Yoon-geun received 10 million won from a construction company in 2009 along with a job request and returned the money back in 2016. Kim claimed that he was kicked out because of the report.

However, the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae refuted, "It is groundless that Kim was kicked out because of a report on Ambassador Woo Yoon-geun," and disclosed Kim's real name as Kim Tae-woo on Tuesday. A loach in the palace is clouding the stream. Soon the impurities will subside and the truth will become clear." Yoon Young-chan said the legal responsibility for defamation including falsehood will be put on the table.

The presidential office of Cheong Wa Dae countered that it was in November 2018 when investigators Kim Tae-woo returned to the prosecution due to allegations of "self-promotion" and "golf hospitality" by the presidential office, and that it was unreasonable that Kim was suddenly kicked out because of intelligence he had prepared in August 2017. Cheong Wa Dae spokesman Kim Eui-gyeom said on Sunday that if Kim was right, he would have kicked him out in August 2017 instead of November 2018.

"It is not new information that Kim Tae-woo is a spy, but it has been reported to the media in 2015," said Kim Eui-gyeom, spokesman for the prosecution. "We also investigated the receipt of 10 million won, but all the charges were settled." It was Park Geun-hye's administration was opposition lawmaker and uyungeun, said. Park Geun-hye's administration been cleared of the concluded as a series of information because it is is that it judged that it's not true. Cho Kuk, senior presidential secretary for civil affairs, also said on his Facebook page on Wednesday, "Looking at the fact that Woo Yoon-geun is suspected...The article was titled "스포츠토토사이트
A Little Mystery of the Rumors that went astray six years ago."

To sum up Cheong Wa Dae's explanation, Kim Tae-woo posted intelligence on then Secretary General Woo Yoon-keun, who was on the list of Russian ambassadors in August 2017. Park Hyung-chul, then secretary for anti-corruption of the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae, did not conduct an inspection because Woo Yoon-keun, then secretary-general of the National Assembly, was not subject to the inspection by Cheong Wa Dae. "It is illegal if we had special inspection of the secretary general of the National Assembly," said Kim Eui-gyeom, spokesman for the National Assembly. Cheong Wa Dae's special inspection target is 'the person the president appoints.'

However, Cho Kuk, then presidential secretary for civil affairs, asked the presidential personnel line to confirm the fact, considering that Woo Yoon-keun, then secretary-general of the National Assembly, had been nominated as ambassador to Russia. The personnel and civil affairs office after its own survey information is not true that Moon Jae-in, president on September 5, 2017 uyungeun the Secretary-General.Ambassador to Russia, for the post. Gimuigyeom a spokesman said the "In particular, government prosecutors also said the Park Geun-hye was important was the basis of judgment."

On the other hand, investigators Kim Tae-woo claimed in a five-page article on the Chosun Ilbo that the senior presidential secretary for civil affairs and chief of staff had intentionally discarded his duties as confirmation of senior officials. "The senior presidential secretary for civil affairs in Korea reported his intelligence to Lim Jong-seok, and Lim Jong-seok, the chief of staff, said, "We need to come up with countermeasures since it was judged to be true," Kim Tae-woo said.

In response, Cheong Wa Dae spokesman Kim Eui-gyeom said, "It is not true that the presidential chief of staff Lim Jong-seok was mentioned," adding, "The case was closed by the presidential office itself, but was not reported to Lim Jong-seok." Lim Jong-seok, presidential chief of staff, also told reporters after meeting with party leaders Sohn Hak-kyu and Justice Party Chairman Lee Jung-mi, who staged a hunger strike at the National Assembly on Tuesday. "I am very sorry to think lightly of other people's honor by concealing the scandal and exaggerating and distorting it," Lim Jong-seok, chief of staff, said.

However, Ambassador Woo Yoon-keun said in a telephone interview with Prussian, "After I took the post of ambassador, I told chief of staff Lim Jong-seok on the phone that I had verified the past (of (Cheong Wa Dae)." "I didn't know that Lim Jong-seok was not involved in the verification process at all," Woo Yoon-geun, the ambassador, said. "How can I talk to Lim Jong-seok, the chief of staff for civil affairs, before I take office?" It could be misleading.
