[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] Jeon Woo-yong, a visiting professor at the Academy of Korean Studies, raised his voice in criticism toward former Dongyang University professor Jin Jung-kwon, saying, "First provoking someone and then saying, 'This person is picking a fight. Teacher, please scold them,' is a behavior suitable only for lower elementary school students."

On the 30th, Professor Jeon wrote on his Facebook, "'The original native Japanese collaborator is picking a fight. Choi Kang-wook, please protect me with your Lexus.' This was Jin Jung-kwon's reaction to my post," he said.

He added, "I apologize if I caused such a severe shock that it seemed to shake your spirit developed over 50 years," and continued, "Now that I understand Jin Jung-kwon's condition, I will not care about whatever he says from now on. I wish him a speedy recovery."

Earlier that day, Professor Jeon revealed on his Facebook, "I received 10 text messages overnight with password reset codes for my Twitter account," and said, "It means some bad person tried to hack my account, and I suddenly thought, 'Could it be that Master Jin Jung-kwon's account was hacked too?'"

Professor Jeon said, "Assuming that, several questions were resolved," and stated, "'Self-proclaimed historian' is a term used only by Ilbe worms. Scholars never use terms like 'self-proclaimed historian' or 'self-proclaimed aesthete' among themselves."

He continued, "In the historical academic community, there are terms like 'pseudo-historian' or 'underground historian,' but there is no term like 'self-proclaimed historian,'" and added, "I simply could not believe that a scholar with the noble character of Master Jin Jung-kwon would use the terminology of Ilbe worms."

He then said, "Based on the above doubts and reasoning, I have tentatively concluded that Master Jin Jung-kwon's account was hacked," and added, "Now, the only question left is how Ilbe worms or part-timers could imitate Master Jin Jung-kwon's unique and flawless writing style exactly."

Former Professor Jin posted a link to an article containing Professor Jeon's remarks on the same day, saying, "The original 'native Japanese collaborator' is picking a fight," and "Choi Kang-wook, please protect me with your Lexus."
