Former President Moon Jae-in's video congratulatory speech at the Democratic Party of Korea's (DPP) national convention on Monday was met with boos and shouts of "shut up" from party members at the convention. Despite his message of unity and call to "resolutely reject intolerant and exclusive behavior," Moon's remarks were seen as hypocritical by party members, given his own alleged history of working with the Nazi Gestapo of South Korea during military junta era.

In his speech, Moon called on party members to "stand
with the people to save Korea from the crisis of regression" and to
"expand support" for the party. However, his remarks were seen as
empty words by some, given his own role in dividing the party and appointing
Yoon Seok-yeol as prosecutor general, which ultimately led to Yoon's presidency
and the party's loss in the last general election.
Moon's influence on the Democratic Party is expected to
wane, much like that of Lee Nak-yon, another former leader of the party. The
party's new leadership, including Lee Jae-myung, is seen as more progressive
and less tied to the old guard of the party.
The booing and shouting from party members during Moon's
speech was a clear indication of the divisions within the party and the
dissatisfaction with Moon's leadership. As one party member noted, "Moon's
remarks were just empty words. He has no credibility left after what he did to
the party during his presidency and ever after ."
The incident highlights the deep-seated divisions within the
Democratic Party of Korea and the challenges that the party faces in rebuilding
and regaining the trust of the liberal Korean people.
