In a recent statement made on Facebook, conservative commentator Jeong Gyu-jae expressed his disdain for former President Yoon Seok-yeol, particularly in light of the recent court ruling that sentenced Yoon to life imprisonment on charges of being the mastermind behind a coup. Jeong emphasized his disappointment with Yoon's presidency, remarking that it is shameful for someone he describes as having a 'dull mind' to handle national affairs. He criticized the People Power Party members, especially those with backgrounds as prosecutors and judges, for enabling Yoon's rise to a presidential candidacy, expressing a sense of betrayal and anger.

Jeong did not hold back his criticisms of Yoon's alleged coup, labeling both the motives and the methods as fundamentally flawed. He pointed out that while Yoon aspired to impose his authority, he failed to garner even a modicum of respect required for any legitimate governance, emphasizing the widespread contempt the public feels towards him. Additionally, he critiqued Yoon's courtroom demeanor, portraying it as desperate and pitiful, where Yoon attempted to assert his innocence and mitigate his sentencing while displaying an apparent lack of self-respect in the process of defending himself.

Finally, Jeong directed his remarks towards the People Power Party, suggesting that their preoccupation with unfounded election fraud theories would only lead to their continued decline. He remarked on the party’s unfortunate situation, where even its non-mainstream members appear to align with less competent figures like Han Dong-hoon, highlighting a bizarre self-destructive trend within the party. This criticism comes amid a moment of significant legal and political turmoil for Yoon, marking a pivotal point in South Korean politics that could have lasting implications for the ruling party's future.
