Former President Moon Jae-in has launched a book channel on YouTube, where he will regularly appear to introduce and talk about books of his choice, the online video-streaming service showed Tuesday.
Moon, who led Korea from 2017-2022, appeared on "Pyeongsan Bookstore TV," and recommended several books, including a poetry collection for teenagers.
