"Why Are You Defending Cho Kuk?" Jin Joong-kwon Criticizes Democratic Party's Kim Nam-guk Nomination
"Fandom Politics Leads to Falling into the Fandom Trap"
"Entering the Extended Battle of the Jo Guk War"
Democratic Party Strategically Nominates Lawyer Kim Nam-guk for Ansan Danwon, Gyeonggi
[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized, saying, "They ultimately nominated Kim Nam-guk. They just can't cut ties with Jo Guk."
On the 9th, Jin wrote on his Facebook, "They engaged in fandom politics and ended up trapped in the swamp of fandom," expressing his view.
He continued, "If they don't give the nomination, the Jo-ppa zombies (a derogatory term for supporters of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk) will riot, so even though they know they should abandon it, they can't because they're scared," he claimed.
He added, "Thus, the Jo Guk war enters overtime. Voters in South Korea will first ask all Democratic Party candidates running in constituencies, 'Why do you defend Jo Guk?' Let's listen to their excuses," he criticized.
