[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized Yang Jeong-cheol, head of the Democratic Research Institute, on the 3rd for recommending Im Jong-seok, former presidential chief of staff, to take charge of the Honam region, saying, "The Moon Jae-in administration will be ruined by Yang Jeong-cheol and that person."

On the same day, Jin posted on his Facebook, "I believe the Cho Kuk incident also started from this person's delusion," expressing his view.

He said, "This is the characteristic of such a person: mistaking the president elected by the people as a 'king' they created themselves," adding, "Honam seems likely to be swept by the Democratic Party anyway, but it looks like they are diligently scheming something for Plan B."

He continued, "I don't know what that is, but Mr. Im Jong-seok, don't be swayed by that person (Director Yang)," and said, "As you promised the people, dedicate the rest of your life to the unification movement. I believe you know well who is more important between that person and the people."

Earlier, Director Yang met with reporters at the Yeouido party headquarters in the morning and, regarding the question about Im's appointment as the Honam regional election committee chairman, said, "We have made the request for now," adding, "However, due to the situation related to Ulsan, we will respond well to that issue first and then wisely judge the party's request."

Director Yang continued, "Whether to run or not is a matter for the individual to decide," and said, "Regardless of running or not, he has expressed his intention to contribute to the party's victory in the general election, so he will make a wise decision along that line."
