If one reads what is written about South Korean president Moon Jae-in in conservative South Korean media and, especially, on the more extreme conservative websites, the current tenant of the Blue House looks very bad.

At best, Moon Jae-in is portrayed as a naive politician who has a starry-eyed infatuation with North Korea and the North Korean problem, who swallows, wholesale, the patently dishonest and insincere promises of Pyongyang.
