[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized the wife of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, Jung Kyung-shim, on the 2nd for mentioning former President Roh Moo-hyun's 'field watch' incident and criticizing the prosecution and the media, saying, "Was former President Roh's dream just to buy a building in Gangnam?"

On the same day, Jin shared an article on his Facebook post in which Jung's side said, targeting the prosecution's investigation and media coverage of her, that "the field watch incident is happening again," calling it a "shallow media play."

Earlier, Jung's side claimed that "the field watch incident is happening again" after the prosecution revealed in court a text message she sent saying, "My goal is to buy a building in Gangnam."

In response to Jung Kyung-shim's claim, Jin said, "When did former President Roh forge documents to send his children to prestigious universities? Did he turn 440 million won into 1.6 billion won through stock investment?" He added, "Or did he borrow someone else's name to make prohibited investments?"

He then targeted supporters of former Minister Cho and Jung, saying, "The followers of the Cho Soon-jin-rihoe are shouting, 'My dream is also to buy a building in Gangnam, so arrest me too,' but they need to understand their place," adding, "To be definitely arrested, you have to be in a position where a hearing is held in the National Assembly. If you are not at that level, don't make a fuss. The prosecution is busy."

Earlier, in another post, Jin said, "If you want to ruin the Democratic Party, it's better to let Jeong Bong-ju, Moon Seok-gyun, and Kim Ui-gyeom all come out," adding, "Then, during the election campaign, if you hit them for about two weeks with sexual harassment, constituency inheritance, real estate speculation, and Professor Jung's 'Gangnam building,' it will be worth watching."

Regarding Professor Jung Kyung-shim, Jin said, "She was a typical upper-class woman called the so-called 'Gangnam Madam,'" and claimed, "During the five years we worked together at Dongyang University, the stories I heard from her were exactly two categories: stories about 'property,' such as buying an apartment at auction, disputes among siblings over inheritance, and stories about land tax on a tiny piece of land. The other was about the children's 'college entrance.' She was very attentive."

He added, "Another desire is packaging. It is to pass on the best academic background to the children," continuing, "The son went to law school, and the daughter to medical school. A typically Gangnam-like desire," and said, "But it seems the children's abilities did not keep up. So, by any means necessary, they fabricated their specs."
