[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon predicted that the 21st National Assembly election "will likely be held as a vote of confidence in Cho Kuk."

On the 20th, Jin posted on his Facebook, saying, "The party, government, and Blue House have all simultaneously launched a 'rescue the nation' campaign."

He continued, "Is this the steel formation of the 'rescue the nation' Jeondaehyeop?" and claimed, "Choo Mi-ae is a puppet. She is an avatar dispatched by the PK (Busan-Gyeongnam) pro-Democratic faction to rescue Cho Kuk."

He said, "The hit list and scenario were drafted by Choi Kang-wook of the Blue House," and questioned, "Why are they so obsessed with Cho Kuk? Is it the unique clique culture of the Yeongnam pro-Moon faction?"

He added, "Or is there a major corruption scandal that cannot be hidden if Cho Kuk is exposed?" and pointed out, "Judging by the posture, if the ruling party wins the general election, they seem likely to bring Cho Kuk back."

Jin said, "There are 20 allegations against his family and 11 against himself. The numerous hypocritical remarks he has made so far could be proposed for UNESCO registration as the 'Joman Daejanggyung' (Great Buddhist Canon)," and asked, "Should such a person return as the mistress of the Blue House? Your vote will decide."

Finally, he added, "The Democratic Party is aiming for 140+a seats in this general election," and said, "They already have a thick skin, but if they win overwhelmingly in the election, their shamelessness will probably reach the 'nation' level."

Earlier that day, Jin also posted on his Facebook, saying, "Minister Choo Mi-ae has placed mold where preservatives should be," and argued that Shim Jae-cheol, head of the Anti-Corruption Department at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, should be the first investigation target of the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office.

Jin said, "The head of the prosecution's anti-corruption department claimed that former Minister Cho Kuk's abuse of power was not charged," and explained, "Judges make judgments, prosecutors file indictments, but they prevented that from happening."

He continued, "This case has already been deemed 'charges substantiated' by the court," and criticized, "Is it reasonable that the prosecution, which should indict and punish the suspect, instead acts as the suspect's defense attorney? Are the prosecutor's and defense attorney's seats distinguished in the courtroom?"

He claimed, "There are reports that this person instructed prosecutors at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office to prepare a report stating that former Minister Cho Kuk should be cleared in the Yoo Jae-soo case," and added, "When a subordinate prosecutor warned that handling the case abnormally could lead to charges of dereliction of duty or abuse of power against him and other prosecutors in the anti-corruption department, he allegedly said, 'Let's pretend this never happened,' according to testimony."

Jin said, "This was already expected when Minister Choo Mi-ae appointed him to that position," and criticized, "Is the anti-corruption department head covering up corruption by Yoo Jae-soo and then covering up Cho Kuk's corruption again?"

He added, "Isn't the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office originally created to punish people like this?" and said, "I select this person as the first target of investigation."
