[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized the Democratic Party on the 17th for conducting an additional recruitment in Seoul Gangseo-gap, the constituency of lawmaker Geum Tae-seop, saying, "The Democratic Party is ridiculous. They must be crazy."

On the same day, Jin posted on his Facebook, "It's so absurd that I just laugh," expressing his criticism.

Regarding lawyer Kim Nam-guk, who held the Democratic Party membership ceremony and is running for Gangseo-gap, Jin said, "They intend to turn this election entirely into the Cho Kuk election," and criticized, "If newcomers get extra points and Moon supporters (a derogatory term for President Moon's ardent supporters) join in, it will be quite a spectacle."

Jin added, "(The Gangseo-gap nomination competition) will become another battleground that highlights the meaning of this general election," and said, "If Geum Tae-seop is eliminated, a very interesting situation will unfold."

Finally, Jin said, "It's like pouring gasoline on an already blazing fire. At that time, the Democratic Party will probably become Sodom and Gomorrah."

Earlier, on the 15th, the Democratic Party's nomination management committee selected Gangseo-gap, Geum's constituency, as an additional recruitment area.

Lawyer Kim also participated as a writer in the 'Cho Kuk White Paper Promotion Committee,' which was launched to document the prosecution and media's actions from the appointment to the resignation of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk.
