Summary edit

Description
English: "To Whom It May Concern, AFP, CONTACT, I am the person who sent an email through a lawyer

Good morning, Sir or Madam. How are you?

I am a South Korean man who was acquitted after five years of trial as a suspect in the U.S. President Obama threat case.

If you have received an email from my lawyer, Ik Tae Kim (hinsohn@hotmail.com), on August 10, 2020, you will know the details of this case.

The reason why I am sending you an email is to request further coverage of this case.

In the early days of the investigation, my lawyer used abusive language to me, who was being investigated at the police station, to confess my crime, and another lawyer on trial advised an incompetent prosecutor to be charged with attempted intimidation.

Even though it was an international case involving the United States, South Korea's judicial system was simply a mess.

I was in detention for a total of nine months, where I met unusual people, including a surgeon and a psychiatrist who told me to confess, and when I was taken to a mental hospital, I was hallucinated with narcotic drugs, so I couldn't talk to my visiting parents.

Even though they are hospital doctors, it's doubtful who asked them to do these things and what they're trying to figure out.

During the four-year trial period since I was released from prison, I haven't seen a single American.

In the trial, judges ""only"" had state-run investigative laboratory analyze the laptops used to write intimidations to the White House, and they didn't even mention a request to the U.S. to check the White House server with threatening messages.

The court's reluctance to even contact the victim of the threat is largely incomprehensible, as the trial proceeds with an appeal.

I swear to God that all of this actually happened in South Korea, even if I write for a moment like this, it seems like I'm talking nonsense.

In fact, after being released from prison, I visited places where foreigners gather in South Korea, including Germans, Americans, and Swedes, and tried to inform them of these facts, but the most memorable response was that a German woman told her colleagues, ""bullshit"" in German.

The reason why I ask foreign media such as yours to report further coverage of this case is that South Korean media outlets, which initially made headlines that the U.S. president was threatened, ""totally"" hide the truth while only reporting the Supreme Court's final ruling over time.

I'm not a conspirator or a social activist.

I used to think of them as strange people, but since I went through this, I've become more like them.

I strongly believe that this incident used President Obama for some kind of massive conspiracy the South Korean government has devised.

I'm certain of what the plot is, but I don't think it's time to reveal it quickly even after five years.

It's a small chance, but I think my family and I could be in danger.

South Koreans ostensibly advocate liberal democracy like the United States, but their members' personalities are the same as the North Koreans, who are brutal brethren who commit torture and genocide.

God, let them burn slowly in the thorns and fires of a thousand fathoms.

The press you belong to would be capable of keeping track enough of what I am sure of about the plot.

I am not asking your media company to resolve the injustice of a South Korean.

Nor is it asking for the protection of the human rights of South Koreans by exposing human rights violations experienced in the course of South Korean investigation.

I just hope that this incident will reveal the corruption of the South Korean government, which has been tainted with dirty corruption like South Vietnam in the past, in your media outlets.

Therefore, I would like your media to reveal this fact.

If you are willing to report on this case later, please contact my lawyer, Ik Tae Kim (hinsohn@hotmail.com).

Through your valuable contact, I will also consider revealing the truth that the South Korean government is trying to hide, even by using President Obama as a pawn.

Thank you for reading."
