News Chun In-bum steps down as Minjoo Party security advisorDecision made after criticism for his wife's embezzlement and comments about Gwangju Uprising
Chun In-bum, a former ROK Special Warfare Command Commander who recently joined the Minjoo Party as its national security advisor, announced on Friday that he would no longer be working for Moon Jae-in’s campaign. Chun, who openly announced his support for presidential candidate Moon last Saturday, quickly came under criticism when his wife Shin Hwa-jin, president of Sungshin Women’s University, was found guilty of embezzling university funds. “I sincerely apologize,” Chun wrote on his official Facebook account. “I tried to provide help (to Moon), but unintentionally, my carelessness has brought troubles to Moon Jae-in, the former leader of the Minjoo Party.” He © Korea Risk Group.
