In particular, candidate Kim joined the Democratic Liberal Party in March 1994, before the preparatory committee of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions was formed.
The claim that candidate Kim Moon-soo, who entered the Democratic Party eight months earlier than November 1994 when the preparatory committee began its activities, created the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions is not credible.
Lee Seok-haeng, former chairman of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, said on the 21st that candidate Kim had created the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, saying, "I'm talking nonsense," adding, "It's my living history."
"I was a member of the National Labor Relations Association for a while when it was created, and then I went straight to the People's Party," he said. "Since then, I have not been involved in the National Labor Relations Association or the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions."
The testimony of Chairman Lee coincides with the recollection that a close aide of former representative Sim Sang Jung opposed the construction of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions by then candidate Kim Moon-soo. Chairman Lee was the former deputy secretary-general of the labor union in 1990.
Chairman Lee Seok-haeng said, "The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions fought hard, including the 1996 and 1997 general strike of workers," adding, "It was because the New Korea Party, where Kim Moon-soo was a first-term lawmaker at the time, passed the Labor Act and the National Security Agency Act, so how would such a person have participated in the construction of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and the KTU?"
In the early morning hours of December 26, 1996, the New Korea Party bused its members to the National Assembly without any notice to the opposition party and passed the Labor Act and the National Security Agency Act among themselves
The KTU rooted in the education democratization movement, false claims that it was created by Kim Moon-soo
The National Teachers and Education Workers' Union is an organization formed by teachers' struggle for educational democratization.
According to the 1991 spring issue of "Teachers: Two Years of Struggle and Trials for True Education," there seems to be no room for candidate Kim to play a role in the formation of the KTU.
The record, written by Lee Cheol-guk, the editor-in-chief of the KTU, says that the KTU succeeded the education democratization movement.
The formation of the Korean Teachers' Union did not happen overnight. It inherited the tradition of the Korean Teachers' Union movement after the April 1960 Revolution, and it is an inevitable consequence of the education democratization movement that began in the 1980s and continued to develop.

Kim Jin-kyung, the first head of the KTU's policy office, said on the 22nd that candidate Kim Moon-soo created the KTU, "It's completely irrelevant and nonsense," and stressed, "When creating the KTU, the far-left line, like Kim Moon-soo, thought teachers were 'petiburgeans (small citizens)," and it was strange that teachers were working in a labor movement."
"Kim Moon-soo's side is so far left that he would have been more suppressed if he was brought into the KTU," he recalled.
Teachers who led the Declaration for the Democratization of Education in May 1986 formed the National Council of Teachers for the Promotion of Democratic Education in 1987. After the June Democratic Uprising, major discussions were held across the country under the banner "Educational democratization is the hands of teachers!"
At the time of the formation of the Korea Federation of Teachers, a regular teacher's association centered on field teachers was also organized at the school level.
The Korea Teachers and Education Association conducted a struggle for true education, school democratization, and education evil law. The accumulation of these educational democratization movements led to the launch of the KTU in May 1989.
The founding declaration said, "400,000 faculty and staff across the country, who have been appointed to the educational achievements of the Hankyoreh, today declare the formation of a historic National Teachers and Education Workers' Union."
The claim that candidate Kim created the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and the KTU is a clear lie.
In this regard, the question was delivered to candidate Kim Moon-soo's camp, but no answer has yet been received.
You must have gone somewhere and accused the KTU and the KCTU of creating them yourself.
The person who became a defector and was at the bottom of the political circle created the KCTU.
Besides, I don't see anything to do with the KTU.
Maybe I'm impressed by the Yoon Suk Yeol's unchanging lies.
I don't know if you're giving him your enthusiastic support.
I want you to stop seeing people like this who say they did things they didn't do.
