Chun In-bum steps down as Minjoo Party security advisor

Decision made after criticism for his wife's embezzlement and comments about Gwangju Uprising

Chun In-bum, a former ROK Special Warfare Command Commander who recently joined the Minjoo Party as its national security advisor, announced on Friday that he would no longer be working for Moon Jae-in's campaign.

Chun, who openly announced his support for presidential candidate Moon last Saturday, quickly came under criticism when his wife Shin Hwa-jin, president of Sungshin Women's University, was found guilty of embezzling university funds.
