Myung Tae-gyun, a key figure in the suspicion of President Yoon Seok-yeol’s ‘interference in nominations’, said that he was confident that President Yoon (candidate at the time) would win the People Power Party primary based on the 2021 ‘Palm King’ incident and seeing the response of the competing candidates at that time. appeared. He pointed out that other candidates failed to attack President Yoon’s shamanic practice similar to ‘Yamae’ (Nallim) and claimed that ‘Cheongong’, a fortune telling technique, is just a child’s level to him.
According to a transcript obtained by the Kyunghyang Shinmun from the Democratic Party of Korea on the 23rd, in a conversation with an acquaintance in early October 2021, after the 5th TV debate of the People Power Party primary, Mr. Myeong was asked, ‘Who will be president?’ and responded, “It is already done. “President Yoon Seok-yeol was confirmed on September 26,” he said. September 26th was the day when the third TV debate of the People Power Party’s presidential primary candidates took place, and President Yoon participated in the debate wearing a prince on his palm. President Yoon’s side explained at the time that this act was written by a supporter as encouragement, but controversy continued over who was responsible for the act.
When an acquaintance asked Mr. Myeong if he could be a monk, he said, “People like monk Cheongong are just children to us,” and claimed, “People like that can’t talk to me.” He continued, “Even people who ate with Kim Jong-in can’t even say a word in front of me. “I recognize Geumma,” he added. At the time, one media outlet reported that when President Yoon and Kim Jong-in, former chairman of the People Power Party’s Emergency Response Committee, had a luncheon meeting, Noh Byeong-han, director of the Korea Future Forecasting Institute and a fortune teller, was present.
In the following conversation, Mr. Myeong cited the controversy over the character ‘King’ on the palm as the background for being confident of winning the primary. He said to former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, who was President Yoon’s rival, “You’re a fool, you’re a fool” and added, “(When the prince was confirmed) ‘Oh my gosh, Candidate Yoon, I know a fortune teller, but if you use the prince like that, it will backfire.’ You can’t do it with vegetables. “Kids are getting good at getting tattoos these days, so if they said, ‘From now on, I’ll just go where it’s allowed,’ wouldn’t Seok-Yeol Yoon end up becoming a hobbyist and a hobbyist?” Taking advantage of the prince controversy, he said, “They should have tried to beat him while pretending to protect him.” Regarding Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo, another competing candidate, he said, “(Candidate Hong) cannot become president because he is an astounding person.”
Regarding the record of this conversation, the Democratic Party said, “Mr. Myung suddenly mentions the Palm Prince controversy while talking about magic, which can be interpreted as meaning that this incident was an opportunity to confirm the president.” However, they added, “However, the rival candidate’s response to the Palm Prince He explained, “Because it is immature, there is room for interpretation to mean that it is the same as confirming the president.”
The fact that Mr. Myeong emphasized his superiority by mentioning Cheon Gong and Major General Noh Byeong-han shows the possibility that many fortunetellers tried to establish a close relationship with President Yoon and his wife. Recently, a famous Myungri scholar in Gangnam, Seoul, claimed in an interview with the Hankyoreh, “There are many Myungri scholars and shamans whom Mrs. Kim Geon-hee seeks advice on public decisions.”
