[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon evaluated on the 25th that the Justice Party youth candidates' reflection on their past support for former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk's appointment, which caused controversy due to family issues including their children, is "finally a return to the right place."

In a post on his Facebook that day, Jin said, "It may be disadvantageous for votes to take a stand against Cho Kuk, but it cannot be helped," and added, "The true capability of the Justice Party is the voting rate achieved while upholding progressive principles and values."

He stated, "If we are to exchange progressive principles and values for a few seats, it would be better to all join the Democratic Party," and argued, "After this general election, there should be a social discussion about the reorganization of progressivism."

He also added, "Civil society and everything else have collapsed," and "We must return to our original intention and start again from the grassroots."
