[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon stated on the 7th, "The Moon Jae-in administration and its supporters risked everything to save Cho Kuk because he was the crown prince of the Moon Jae-in administration."

In a post on his Facebook that day, former professor Jin said, "If it weren't for this incident, there would have been no stronger retirement security for President Moon Jae-in than him. That's why they defended him so fanatically."

He continued, "However, as the trial begins, he will increasingly become a burden to the administration. Once evidence starts being presented one by one in court, it will become increasingly difficult to defend him."

He added, "As an individual, Cho Kuk will be abandoned after the general election anyway," and said, "Even if Cho Kuk is abandoned, the 'Cho Kuk paradigm' will be repeated. This is because they have seen its utility and power. So when another figure appears, that paradigm will be transferred to him as is."

Former professor Jin also said, "After the general election, investigations into 'Im Jong-seok' will begin. Thirteen people have already been indicted, and it has been confirmed that all eight positions in the Blue House were involved in the crime. It is reported that the prosecution has secured physical evidence such as numerous audio recordings sufficient to indict without further investigation."

He continued, "The outline has been fully revealed. The only person who could have systematically operated the eight positions in the Blue House is former Chief of Staff Im Jong-seok," and evaluated, "It seems unlikely that indictment will be difficult, as it is just a matter of fitting the last piece into the puzzle."

Nevertheless, he expressed concern, saying, "I don't think the president's fandom will flock to Seocho-dong just because Im Jong-seok is being investigated by the prosecution. However, we cannot know what the prosecution is holding. Of course, I don't think it will happen, but if the report that he went up to the Blue House more than 15 times reaches higher levels, it will become very troublesome. At that time, unimaginable things will happen."

Former professor Jin concluded his post by saying, "The president said, 'Let's let go of Cho Kuk now,' right? Even if Cho Kuk is let go, the 'Cho Kuk paradigm' will not be let go. Because it has already settled as the governing technique of this administration," and ended with, "Ah, you have gone. But we cannot send you off."
