[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon will participate in a discussion today (the 6th) reflecting on the allegations surrounding former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk and his family, as well as controversies over the prosecution's excessive investigation. Former professor Jin stated, "Endure even if Munppa (a derogatory term for President Moon's ardent supporters) insult you. There is no need to respond to insults with insults."

On the 5th, Jin posted on his Facebook, "They lie because they cannot win with facts," adding, "The most powerful weapon against lies is the truth."

Jin advised, "Speak only based on facts about what you want to say. On Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and internet communities. Speaking the truth does not require eloquence," and "Do not be intimidated by the atmosphere. Do not succumb to the power of the masses."

He continued, "The truth will surely prevail," and said, "No matter what cunning schemes they devise, reality is infinitely richer than their minds."

He emphasized, "To maintain one lie, they must endlessly tell other lies accordingly," and "Therefore, no matter how many lies they tell, or how plausible those lies seem, those lies cannot be sustained forever."

Finally, Jin added, "That is why we cannot help but win this fight. Hence, as Dangtong said, 'Courage, and more courage, always courage!'"

Earlier, on the 2nd of last month, Jin proposed a public debate on his Facebook, saying, "Munppa who want to debate with me, please apply under this post and leave your contact information via message."

After the post was published, Kim Hochang, CEO of Upstudy, expressed his willingness to participate in the public debate.

Kim posted on his Facebook, "Since the starting point of the Cho Kuk issue began with me appearing on 'News Factory,' I think I am qualified," and added, "I also sent a text message saying 'I support' to the teacher opposing the Cho Kuk issue, so I believe it will be a respectful debate at least."
