📰 Kim Eo-jun Defends Rhyu Si-min & Reebok School Allegations Involving Kim Moon-soo
📰 김어준 “유시민 설난영 발언, 김·설 관계 실제보다 우아하게 표현” Kim Eo-jun Defends Rhyu Si-min’s Controversial Remarks
Kim Eo-jun Defends Rhyu Si-min: “He Described the Kim Moon-soo–Seol Nan-young Relationship More Gracefully Than It Was”
방송인 김어준은 유시민 작가의 설난영 여사 관련 발언이 실제 경험보다 우아하게 표현된 것이라며 옹호했다.
그는 이번 논란이 유시민 비판이 아닌 김문수 후보의 성차별·학벌주의를 검증할 기회라고 주장했다.
그는 ‘70년대민주노동운동동지회’ 인터뷰 영상을 통해 이를 뒷받침했다.
인터뷰에 등장한 이총각 전 노조위원장은 설난영 여사와의 과거 일화를 언급했다.
설 여사는 김문수와의 결혼 경험을 바탕으로 “현장 노동자들이 학출과 결혼하면 말리겠다”고 말했다고 전해졌다.
김어준은 유시민이 고졸임에도 노무현 전 대통령을 가장 먼저 지지했던 사람이라며, 학벌주의자라는 비판은 부당하다고 반박했다.
김어준은 유시민이 김문수를 위해 전두환 정권 시절 위험을 무릅쓰고 구명 활동을 벌였다고 밝혔다.
또한 유시민과 설난영은 단순한 지인이 아닌, 생사를 함께한 동지였다고 강조했다.
유시민은 대학 노동자 출신 김문수 후보와 진짜 노동자 출신 설난영 여사의 관계를 설명하며, 설 여사가 결혼을 통해 스스로 고양됐다고 느꼈을 수 있다고 말했다.
논란이 일자 그는 계급주의나 여성·노동 비하 의도가 전혀 없었다고 해명했다.
Broadcaster Kim Eo-jun defended writer Rhyu Si-min, who recently came under fire for allegedly misogynistic comments regarding Seol Nan-young, wife of presidential candidate Kim Moon-soo.
Kim argued that Rhyu’s description of Seol’s relationship with Kim was actually more refined than what he had personally observed. He added that the issue should not be used to attack Rhyu, but rather as a moment to closely examine Kim Moon-soo’s alleged elitist and sexist attitudes.
To support his view, Kim presented an interview video from the “1970s Democratic Labor Movement Comrades Association.” In the video, former union leader Lee Chong-gak recalled Seol Nan-young once saying, in reference to her marriage with Kim, that she would try to dissuade any factory worker from marrying a college graduate. She felt humiliated by Kim’s attitude regarding her educational background, looks, and family origins.
Kim further noted that Rhyu was one of the earliest supporters of former President Roh Moo-hyun—despite being a high school graduate, disproving accusations that he is an elitist.
He also shared that Rhyu risked his life to help Kim Moon-soo during the Chun Doo-hwan regime, participating in rescue efforts alongside Seol Nan-young. Their relationship, Kim emphasized, was not just friendly—it was forged in life-and-death struggles.
Rhyu’s initial comment had described Kim and Seol’s relationship as that between a “university-educated labor activist” and a “true laborer,” suggesting Seol may have felt elevated through marriage.
After facing public backlash, Rhyu clarified that he had no intention of promoting classism or demeaning women or workers.
