Jeong Yura's Counterattack to '18 Won Donation' Criticism: "If Possible, Please Give 181,818 Won"

Received Tablet PC Back from Prosecution on the 17th
Opened Donation Account to Cover Forensic Costs

Jung Yura, the daughter of Choi Seo-won (formerly Choi Soon-sil), expressed discomfort, saying that those who dislike her indirectly insult her by depositing '18 won' into her support account. She then retorted, "If you're going to insult me anyway, don't send a petty 18 won, send 181,818 won (181,818 won)."

On the 18th, after receiving Choi's tablet PC back from the prosecution, Jung opened a support account saying she needed to raise funds for forensic work. She revealed a transfer statement showing that '18 won' had been deposited into the account. She sarcastically said, "So far, with the 18 won sent by the leftists, I at least bought a cup of coffee," adding, "18 won is money too, I should save 18 won and become rich. The coffee tastes good." She then scolded, "If you're going to send money, send it filled with hatred toward me, 181,818 won, you beggars."

The tablet PC that Jung received back from the prosecution was obtained and used in reports by JTBC during the investigation of the Park Geun-hye administration's state affairs manipulation scandal. Earlier, the Seoul Central District Court Civil Appeals Division 8-2 (Presiding Judges Lee Won-jung, Kim Yang-hoon, Yoon Woong-gi) ruled in August last year in favor of the plaintiff, Choi, in a lawsuit against the state for the return of movable property, consistent with the first trial. On December 28 of the same year, the Supreme Court dismissed the state's appeal without review, finalizing the ruling. This tablet PC was obtained by JTBC in October 2016 from Choi's office in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, when the state affairs manipulation allegations surfaced.

After the report, JTBC voluntarily submitted the tablet PC to investigative authorities. The prosecution used it as evidence in related trials and kept it sealed. Choi claimed she did not use this tablet PC and demanded its return, citing her intention to conduct independent verification. In a statement submitted to the appellate court, Choi emphasized, "The special prosecutor has consistently asserted that I used this tablet PC, but it does not even have document functions," and requested, "Please return the tablet PC so that the truth about how state secret documents were inserted and who manipulated it can be revealed."

After the ruling was finalized and she received the tablet, Jung posted on her Facebook, "I received the tablet back from the prosecution on the 17th," sharing related photos on her social media service (SNS). At that time, Jung also revealed, "I even dreamed of not receiving it and haven't had a proper sleep for nearly two weeks." She expressed her intention to focus on proving Choi's claims, saying, "Now it begins," regarding who inserted state secrets into the tablet and whether manipulation occurred.
