[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon referred to supporters of President Moon Jae-in and requested, "Please tell me what exactly you like about President Moon that makes you support him."

On the 16th, Jin posted on his Facebook, saying, "I am writing about fandom politics," and made this statement.

He said, "If you are not a fan, please let me know where Moon fans (fans of President Moon) say they like about President Moon and why they support him," adding, "Or if you have witnessed what they say about President Moon or how they express their affection for him, please let me know."

Earlier, on the 15th, in another post, Jin quoted a key member of the Democratic Party saying, "The centrist group is a superstition. There are only swing voters who vote differently on each issue. The centrist group does not exist," and stated, "This is the doctrine currently leading the Democratic Party."

He analyzed, "Abandoning the superstition that the centrist group exists and just mobilizing passionate supporters is the way to win elections," and added, "The forceful push for Cho Kuk last year, which caused public opinion to turn completely against them, was likely done based on this thinking."

He continued, "Then, support rates dropped, Cho Kuk resigned, and the president apologized," and pointed out, "Despite this practical evidence, that theory will probably neither be abandoned nor revised."
