[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] Jin Joong-kwon (56), former professor at Dongyang University, criticized novelist Gong Ji-young, who expressed sympathy for him.

On the 14th, Jin posted on his Facebook, sarcastically saying, "Gong's pathological lying has worsened. She must be seeing things out of loneliness."

He raised his voice, saying, "Who exactly are those people who are 'close to me'? I'm curious too. Who dares to claim they are close to me? They seem like characters from Gong Ji-young's novels, but you should distinguish between fiction and reality."

He continued, "As some know, I don't meet people or make calls unless necessary. The only people I meet are high school classmates. We had a pleasant meeting in Gangnam last month and parted ways, and we planned to go on a trip to Gangwon-do in early February. What kind of anxiety is this?" He added, "They keep saying 'let's meet,' even mentioning my private life, but there are boundaries that should not be crossed. I'm afraid they might ask to see other things too."

In another post on the same day, Jin said, "Gong Ji-young is an interesting person," adding, "She has a unique mentality and a distinctive sensibility. Something spiritual, perhaps?"

He mocked, "Anyway, for Gong Ji-young, the Cho family is a sacred family, and Professor Jung Kyung-shim is the Virgin Mary. She miraculously conceived certificates, diplomas, awards, and certificates of completion." He added, "All of that is true. They are certificates conceived by the Holy Spirit, so they should not be judged by worldly standards."

He said, "Cho Kuk is Jesus Christ, and Gong Ji-young is Mary Magdalene who gained a new life after meeting him," and quoted, "She wiped his feet with her hair, kissed his feet, and poured perfume on them," referring to Luke 7:38. "Let's all meditate on this," he concluded.

Earlier that day, Gong shared an article containing Jin's Facebook post on her own Facebook, saying, "According to those who were close to him, he has been anxious and struggling lately."

She added, "I hope his friends take better care of him now," and emphasized, "I mean it."

This appears to be in response to Jin's criticism of the Blue House posted on his Facebook the previous day (the 13th).

On the same day, the Blue House sent an official letter to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) after a petition on the Blue House's website, claiming "Former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk suffered human rights violations during the prosecution investigation," received over 200,000 signatures.

Jin shared an article covering this on Facebook, criticizing, "It seems the PK (Busan-Gyeongnam) pro-Moon faction has not yet given up on the Cho Kuk presidential card."

He pointed out, "The Cho family received more privileged treatment than any other suspect investigated for corruption in South Korean history. They did not stand at the photo line like other suspects, could leave early due to illness during questioning, and had legal support from a more splendid team of lawyers than a former president, spending more time reviewing the interrogation records than the questioning itself."

He continued, "They caused such a fuss that the disclosure of suspect facts was much less compared to other cases. In the past, arrest warrants were requested twice for Jung Yoo-ra, but his daughter, who actively participated in the admission corruption, has not even been indicted yet."

He criticized, "The PK pro-Moon faction controlling the Blue House is trying to abuse even the NHRC as an institution to whitewash the corruption and immorality of high-ranking officials who committed corruption," adding, "They are truly despicable people, like feeding a flea its own liver. If things go their way, it will probably be recorded as the worst dark history of the NHRC."
