On the 30th, former President Lee Myung-bak said: “This is not a court trial, but a political trial. It was reported that the outcome of the trial was obvious from the moment it took me. ”

During Lee Myung-bak’s administration, about 30 close associates who were active in the party’s administration gathered in the living room of former President Lee’s home in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 29th when the Court Supreme sentenced him to have a conversation. According to several attendees, former President Lee told his aides who complained about the unfairness of the trial: “I do not worry. However, I am very worried about the future of the country,” he said. President Moon Jae-in said: “The trial itself is a political act, but the pardon will also be political. Don’t expect it.”

Former legislator Lee Jae-oh recalled his experiences while in prison that day and recommended, “To have a good time in prison, you should read the entire world history collection or even read newspapers.” Former President Lee is said to have laughed and replied, “It should be.” There were also opinions from attendees on how to exercise or write a book in prison.

On the 2nd of next month, former President Lee, who was about to be incarcerated again, received treatment for about 40 minutes at the Seoul National University Hospital in Jongno-gu, Seoul, which had been booked on the 30th. Dozens of officials from Lee Myung-bak’s administration, including former Prime Minister Kim Hwang-sik, visited Lee’s home and comforted him. The ruling and opposition parties continued their battle with former President Lee in prison. Representative Cho Hae Jin, who is classified as a pro-I (Lee Myung-bak) family, said on CBS Radio: “We are 80 years old this year, and if we are in prison for 17 years, it means that we should live in prison of for life”. On the other hand, the representative of the Democratic Party, Ahn Min-suk, said on KBS Radio: “The essence of the government Nongdan committed by former President Lee Myung-bak and Choi Soon-sil is money.”
