[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Heo Midam] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon announced that he will have a public debate with Kim Hochang, CEO of Upstudy.

On the 7th, Jin posted on his Facebook, "I will have a public debate with Kim Hochang," adding, "I proposed the date as the afternoon of January 31st and am currently waiting for Kim Hochang's confirmation." He also added, "Participation from other zombies is still open."

Earlier, on the 2nd, Jin criticized, "Those Moonppa (a derogatory term for ardent supporters of President Moon) who want to debate with me, please apply under this post and leave your contact information via message," and "If you don't have the courage, realize your own patheticness and voluntarily shrink away."

On the same day, through another post, he said, "Where have all those who said they would persistently bite until the end gone? None of them are stepping forward," and "If so, it can't be helped. Let Kim Eo-jun, the badger herder, step up. Or at least Gong Ji-young should step up."

After the post was published, CEO Kim Hochang expressed his willingness to participate in the public debate.

On the 3rd, Kim posted on his Facebook, "Since the starting point of the Cho Kuk issue began with me appearing on 'News Factory,' I think I am qualified," and "I also sent a text message saying 'I support you' to the teacher opposing the Cho Kuk issue, so I think it will be a respectful debate at least."

Kim had previously argued on tbs radio's 'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory' during the allegations of unfair admission of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk's daughter, stating, "It is not a suspicion but a very natural result that Cho's daughter was admitted through the World Leading Talent track."

In response to Kim's request to participate in the debate, Jin wrote, "Kim Hochang, your role in this situation is almost none. You don't have to feel responsible. If you want to debate, first disclose the text messages you sent me at that time," adding, "I remember Kim as a cunning opportunist playing both sides. Show the messages you sent me to the Moonppa and get their permission to represent them."

Kim then revealed, "I received a refusal from Professor Jin Joong-kwon," and "He says he never received a message of support, but it seems the phone number changed. Since he asked for proof, here is the evidence," and disclosed a text message saying, "Professor Jin Joong-kwon, I support you. Please contact me."
