[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Sung-yeol] Professor Jang Kyung-wook of the Department of Liberal Arts at Dongyang University has criticized former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon.

On the afternoon of the 7th, Professor Jang posted on his Facebook, saying, "An important agenda should be discussed, but it is unfortunate that Professor Jin's story is being exposed," and added, "If left alone, an individual's subjective interpretation will be reported and spread as 'authority,' so I will briefly point it out."

Previously, in September last year, Professor Jang directly refuted the claim made by former Dongyang University President Choi Sung-hae that "Professor Jung Kyung-shim, wife of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, forged their daughter's certificate of commendation," and has continued to debate the topic with former Professor Jin.

He criticized former Professor Jin, saying, "The response that former Professor Jin gave to Congressman Lee Jong-gul was reported again," and "Once again, the facts are mixed up, and the judgment and understanding of internal affairs were filled with the baseless assumptions of a 'Level 1 professor.'"

He then refuted the expressions used by former Professor Jin one by one. First, regarding Jin's statement, "As far as I know, there is no such corruption at Dongyang University," Professor Jang said, "Since he does not know much, he could not have known about the corruption. From Professor Jin's perspective, what he saw was limited."

Regarding the phrase, "My sense of justice has gone beyond the president's office," Professor Jang said, "It is a typical behavior of retainers and close associates cornered in a difficult situation to bluntly tell the boss to 'retire voluntarily.' Despite the existence of the Faculty Council, it was simply inappropriate for someone who is not part of the council to say, 'Let's do a signature campaign together.'"

He added, "I have received many suspicions, testimonies, and materials related to school management," and "I do not want to publicly appeal using the name of the 'Faculty Council' in this matter. The essence of the issue should not be distorted, nor do I want to spread unverified suspicions to cause embarrassment."

He concluded, "Professor Jin's sense of justice was that of retainers and close associates lurking around the president's office," and "It is not enough to confidently demand the justice of Congressman Lee Jong-gul. If you want to prove your justice, take more action. I encourage you to make an effort."

Meanwhile, former Professor Jin posted on his Facebook on the afternoon of the 7th, claiming, "Democratic Party lawmakers have stigmatized the president as a corrupt figure," and "Congressman Lee Jong-gul is spreading propaganda that 'Jin Joong-kwon's sense of justice stops in front of the president's office.'"

He continued, "I called the president and urged him to resign," and said, "Congressman Lee, my sense of justice has gone beyond the president's office, so now please show your sense of justice. I believe your sense of justice will not stop in front of the visit to the Cho Kuk family, which is the epitome of private school corruption."
