[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae, saying, "You are the thieves."


On the afternoon of the 9th, Jin shared a link to an article quoting Minister Chu's statement that "(Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol) disobeyed my orders" on his Facebook and said, "Minister Chu Mi-ae, you disobeyed the people's orders," adding, "It is you who privatized the power given by the people."


Earlier that day, Jin also posted on Facebook, "These people seem to be planning to oust Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol as well," claiming, "They are building a pretext to dismiss Yoon by talking about 'insubordination'."

He speculated, "They will probably mobilize pro-government media to lay down an insubordination frame for a while," and "Once the social atmosphere ripens, they will gently push Yoon out at that time."


Jin then mentioned Yoo Si-min, chairman of the Roh Moo-hyun Foundation, saying, "Yoo Si-min will get busy again," and added, "Anyway, the ruling party, government, and Blue House all rising up together and causing a commotion only admits that the Ulsan mayoral election interference was a VIP interest project. It seems the lower ranks' tails are not being cut off properly. Even if this passes this time, it will inevitably become a big problem someday."

In the early morning of the same day, he posted on his Facebook again criticizing the Moon Jae-in administration. Jin questioned, "Is there any point in distinguishing between Moon Jae-in and PK pro-Moon factions?" and criticized, "Judging by their perception, judgment, and actions, they seem more like the boss of the PK pro-Moon faction than a president of a country. They are not trapped behind a curtain of benevolence; in fact, from the start, they were one body and one mind with them."


He continued, "They were born lucky with opposition parties, came to power thanks to candlelight protests, and govern easily thanks to the opposition. At this rate, they will enjoy power for about 20 years," but added, "But so what? They are already a 'failed regime'."

He said, "Getting rid of the Liberty Korea Party does not mean the deep-rooted evils disappear," and added, "In their place, the Democratic Party's deep-rooted evils take hold. Jin Joong-kwon's First Law = The Law of Conservation of Deep-rooted Evils. No matter how the regime changes, the total amount of deep-rooted evils remains the same."


He continued, "In the past, if they made a mistake, they would at least pretend to be sorry, but these days, the wrongdoers are proud, and the righteous ones have to apologize," and concluded, "What a damn situation is this? Anyway, since the Cho Kuk incident, we are experiencing a country we have never experienced before. This absurd drama is President Moon Jae-in's creation."



Earlier on the 9th, the Ministry of Justice carried out personnel changes promoting and transferring 32 senior prosecutors at the level of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office. Han Dong-hoon, head of the Anti-Corruption and Strong Crime Division at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, who led investigations into former Justice Minister Cho Kuk's family corruption and the Blue House's cover-up of inspections, was transferred to Deputy Chief Prosecutor of Busan High Prosecutors' Office; Park Chan-ho, head of the Public Investigation Department, was appointed Chief Prosecutor of Jeju District Prosecutors' Office; and Lee Won-seok, head of the Planning and Coordination Department, was transferred to Deputy Chief Prosecutor of Suwon High Prosecutors' Office.
