• 김은구 트루스포럼 대표와 회원들이 15일 오후 서울 관악구 서울대 정문 앞에서 열린 서울대 시진핑자료실 폐쇄 촉구 기자회견에서 이날 서울대를 방문한 미국 정치인들에게 보낸 이메일을 낭독하고 있다. 

    이날 회견장엔 나경원 국민의힘 대선 경선 후보가 방문해 시진핑자료실 폐쇄를 촉구하는 지지발언을 했다. 

  • 다음은 서울대를 방문한 미국 정치인들에게 보낸 메일 전문이다. 


    미국 정치인들의 서울대 방문을 진심으로 환영합니다. 우리는 여러분께 미국과 한국의 미래를 위해 시진핑자료실의 폐쇄를 서울대학교 당국에 요청해 주실 것을 요청드립니다. 

    트루스포럼은 서울대에서 시작된 보수주의 연구/활동 단체입니다. 하지만 한미동맹은 공화당과 민주당을 뛰어넘은 가치이고, 중국의 은밀한 침투에 대응하는 것은 우리 모두의 과제입니다. 

    서울대학교 중앙도서관에는 시진핑 자료실이 있습니다. 이 자료실은 2014년 시진핑 주석의 서울대 방문 이후 설립된 것입니다. 당시 시진핑 자료실을 서울대에 둔 것은 변화될 중국에 대한 한국인들의 기대와 선의를 표현한 것입니다. 하지만 지금 시진핑의 중국은 중국인들을 억압하고 있을 뿐만 아니라 세계를 위협하고 있습니다.

    시진핑자료실이 중국의 통일전선전술로 이용되고 있는 것이 명백해진 이상, 이를 존치하는 것은 서울대가 중국의 침투에 부역하는 것이나 다름이 없습니다.

    나아가 미중 간의 대립이 고조되고 있는 이때에, 대한민국의 근간인 한미동맹을 강화하는 상징적인 차원에서도 시진핑 자료실의 신속한 폐쇄는 반드시 필요한 것입니다.

    이와 같은 이유로 트루스포럼은 시진핑 자료실의 폐쇄를 지속적으로 요구해 왔습니다.

    방문 중에 이러한 우려를 대학 본부에 전달하시고, 즉각적인 조치를 취해 줄 것을 정중히 요청해 주시기를 부탁드립니다.

    한미동맹은 대한민국의 초석입니다. 대한민국의 발전은 미국의 변함없는 헌신과 희생을 통해 가능했습니다. 우리는 이에 대해 깊은 감사의 마음을 가지고 있습니다.

    진리와 자유 위에 함께 서 있는 두 나라가 중국 공산당의 위협에 맞서 승리하고, 우리가 소중히 여기는 가치를 바탕으로 다시금 위대한 나라로 우뚝 서게 되기를 소망합니다.

    그럼, 평안한 여행 되시기 바랍니다. 

    감사합니다.

    We sincerely welcome the visit of American political leaders to Seoul National University.


    In light of our shared commitment to the future of the United States and South Korea, we respectfully ask for your support in urging the university administration to shut down the "Xi Jinping Library" located within the main library of Seoul National University.

    Truth Forum is a conservative research and action group that originated at Seoul National University. While our roots are in conservative thought, we firmly believe that the ROK-U.S. alliance transcends political affiliations—Republican or Democrat. Responding to the covert expansion of Chinese Communist influence is a challenge that calls for united resolve across all ideological lines.

    The Xi Jinping Library was established in 2014 following President Xi Jinping’s visit to Seoul National University. At the time, its creation was intended as a gesture of goodwill, reflecting the Korean people’s hope for a changing China. However, the reality we now face is that Xi’s China is not only oppressing its own people but also threatening global security.

    It has become increasingly evident that this library is being used as a tool of China’s United Front strategy. To maintain such a facility now would be to tacitly cooperate with China's infiltration efforts.

    Moreover, as tensions between the United States and China continue to rise, the swift removal of the Xi Jinping Library would serve as a powerful symbolic act—affirming our commitment to the ROK-U.S. alliance, which lies at the very foundation of South Korea’s security and prosperity.

    For these reasons, Truth Forum has consistently called for the closure of the Xi Jinping Library.

    We kindly ask that during your visit, you express this concern to the university’s leadership and respectfully request that they take immediate action.

    The ROK-U.S. alliance is the cornerstone of the Republic of Korea. South Korea’s development has been made possible through the steadfast commitment and sacrifices of the United States. We remember this with deep gratitude.

    May our two nations, standing together in truth and freedom, prevail against the threat of the Chinese Communist Party and rise once more as great nations under the values we cherish.

    Wishing you a pleasant and meaningful visit.

    With sincere respect,
    David Eunkoo Kim
    President, Truth Forum

    - Truth Forum Statement on the Removal of the Xi Jinping Library at Seoul National University

    For our Chinese friends suffering under dictatorship,
    and for the future of the Republic of Korea,
    we respectfully urge the closure of the Xi Jinping Library at Seoul National University.

    China’s Reform and Opening-up policy ushered in a new historical era. Its extraordinary rapid development captured global attention, and China stood at the threshold of becoming a respected and a great nation in the international community.

    President Xi Jinping’s visit to Seoul National University in 2014 was both a gesture of hope and promise. The international community anticipated China’s constructive and healthy development, and Korea, as a friend of China, expressed support for China’s growth and cultivated a profound friendship.

    However, despite China’s remarkable development and growth, Xi Jinping’s CCP is regressing into the days of communist dictatorship. Moreover, it is aggressively wielding United Front tactics globally, disrupting the stability and global order of sovereign nations, including Korea.

    Xi Jinping’s Chinese Communist Party labeled the Korean poet Yun Dong-ju as Chinese, and has asserted that traditional Korean foods and attire, such as kimchi and hanbok, are part of China’s cultural heritage. The Northeast Project is now expanding beyond Manchuria and now encroaches upon the Korean Peninsula.

    The CCP’s United Front tactics have involved bribing politicians, business leaders, and scholars, while online agents, known as the “Wumao Party/50 Cent Party,” have been manipulating public opinion in South Korea, actively distorting the will and voices of the Korean people.

    Despite this situation, some politicians are committing the outrageous act of sacrificing the Republic of Korea to align themselves with the CCP for the sake of maintaining their own power.

    We are now facing the sad reality of having to worry whether professors even at Seoul National University may have been bought by China, because universities are being used as tools of United Front tactics.

    Xi Jinping’s CCP has deceived both the Chinese people and the world.

    As it has become evident that the Xi Jinping Archives at Seoul National University is being exploited as a tool of the CCP’s United Front tactics and historical revisionist projects like the Northeast Project, allowing such an archive at Seoul National University-the hope of our future generation, would be a profound disgrace in our history.

    Having set aside the painful history of the Korean War, we still extended a hand of friendship to China. As a friend, we continue to hope for a stable, responsible China. When one is going down the wrong path, a true friend is someone who speaks the truth with love.

    For our Chinese friends suffering under dictatorship,
    and for the future of the Republic of Korea,
    we respectfully urge the closure of the Xi Jinping Library at Seoul National University.
