The image was also shared elsewhere\u00a0on Facebook<\/a>, as well as on the South Korean forum Naver Band\u00a0here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Social media users left comments criticising Moon, indicating they believed the response seen in the image was genuine.<\/p>\n “A first drink driving incident? Moon hasn’t grasped the seriousness of this case,” one user wrote.<\/p>\n “What a ridiculous excuse, this crazy nutjob,” another said.<\/p>\n But the chyron in the screenshot has been doctored.<\/p>\n As of October 8, Moon has yet to issue an official statement on his daughter’s DUI case, though his party issued<\/a> a brief response that said “drink driving must never happen” (archived link<\/a>).<\/p>\n A keyword search using some of the text in the chyron and “Yonhap News TV” found the original report<\/a> was published on YouTube on May 19, 2024, months before Moon Da-hye’s reported drink driving incident (archived link<\/a>).<\/p>\n The report is titled: “Responding to Moon’s memoirs, which touted ‘the first solo trip by a first lady,’ the People Power Party calls for a special counsel investigation.”<\/p>\n South Korean prosecutors\u00a0launched<\/a> a probe into allegations that Moon’s wife Kim Jung-sook invited herself on a diplomatic trip to India in November 2018, which Moon described as “the first standalone diplomacy by a first lady” in his memoir<\/a> published in May (archived links here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0here<\/a>).<\/p>\n The East Asian country’s ruling and opposition parties have traded barbs over the issue, with Moon calling<\/a>\u00a0the claims “pathetic and embarrassing” attempts to denigrate the trip (archived link<\/a>).<\/p>\n The altered screenshot corresponds to the Yonhap report’s 47-second mark, but the chyron instead reads:\u00a0“Moon ‘Still there are distortions of malicious intent…this was the first solo foreign trip by a first lady.'”<\/span><\/p>\n Below is a screenshot comparison between the doctored news image (left) and the original report from Yonhap News TV (right):<\/p>\nDoctored screenshot<\/h3>\n
