Remarks
On Lee Myung-bak
- He is critical against the real estate cover-ups made by the South Korean President, Lee Myung-bak, in Naegok-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul.
- He had expressed concerns through his blog how Lee Myung-bak's political associates could potentially drag down the Lee Myung-bak government and his affiliated Saenuri Party (then Grand National Party) after the next presidential election due to Lee's extensive history of political corruptions.
- He once said in 2010 that Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye should have separated on their own way because "Lee Myung-bak's leadership heads itself to a potential Watergate scandal-like incident". This incident refers to the South Korean illegal surveillance incident. Lee Myung-bak has been politically isolated from the ruling Saenuri Party as Chairperson Hong Jun-pyo, resigned.
On the Supreme Prosecutors' Office
- He proposed an extensive restructure of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office of the Republic of Korea as the organization itself covers up the corruptions generated by officials in the Lee Myung-bak government.
Incidents
On April 4, 2012, Lee abruptly left a live political debate program shown in tvN Asia that generated controversies.
