Are They Mentors of the President Couple or Shadowy Figures Manipulating State Affairs?
‘What You Want to Know’ will air ‘Master and Shaman - The Shadow of the President and Shamanism’.
On the 4th, ‘What You Want to Know’ will delve into the shadow of shamanism that has caused controversy around President Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife from the time of his candidacy to the current state of emergency.
In December 2024, South Korea was engulfed in shock and chaos following President Yoon Seok-yeol's declaration of a state of emergency and the passage of an impeachment motion. Particularly, former Intelligence Commander Noh Sang-won, a civilian, was arrested as a key figure in a coup plot, having directed the military to manage the election and arrest key individuals, raising fears about the meticulous coup plan.
His notebook contained chilling phrases such as ‘inducing an attack from North Korea, kill’, and surprisingly, he is known to have become a fortune teller after his military service, reigniting the controversy over shamanic advisors.
During the presidential candidate debate, Yoon Seok-yeol appeared with the character ‘王’ written on his palm. The ‘Gunjin Shaman’ Jeon Seong-bae, who had a close relationship with Kim Kun-hee, was identified as a key figure behind this, and it became known that he served as an advisor to the network headquarters of Yoon Seok-yeol's campaign, sparking the shamanism controversy.
Additionally, allegations arose that ‘Cheongong’, who claims to be the President's mentor, and Myung Tae-kyun, who self-identifies as a ‘Jirisan Master’, advised the President and First Lady or influenced official duties and policy decisions, amplifying the controversy.
“Yongsan is a place for people to sit. It’s the best land in the capital, Seoul.” - Cheongong
“The President is a ‘blind warrior’, and Kim Kun-hee is a ‘crippled shaman’ who casts spells while riding on his shoulders.” - Myung Tae-kyun
After the presidential election, the sudden relocation of the presidential office to Yongsan raised suspicions of shamanic influence, despite concerns over security gaps and inadequate security. Were the claims that their influence affected controversies such as the failure to pay respects to the British Queen or the Yeongil Bay King Whale Project unfounded?
Excluding the imprisoned Myung Tae-kyun, what position do the master Cheongong and the Gunjin Shaman, whom the production team had difficulty tracking down, hold regarding the shamanic advisor controversy?
‘What You Want to Know’ will air on the 4th at 11:10 PM.
