[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon stated on the 3rd regarding former Deputy Prime Minister Choi Kyung-hwan's defamation lawsuit against an MBC official, "Whether it is Channel A or MBC, those who have abandoned the fundamental duties of the press should be criticized, and if any laws have been broken, they must be strictly punished."

On the same day, Jin posted on his Facebook, saying, "Since Choi Kyung-hwan has filed a lawsuit, the truth about how MBC's investigation was conducted will soon be revealed."

He emphasized, "In any case, this incident should not be exploited to distort the facts of the case or to obstruct the prosecution's investigation into various corruptions," and warned, "Do not fall for the transparent 'framing' scam."

He added, "This is an incident where a huge amount of damage occurred and a large number of victims emerged," and warned, "As shown by the Lime scandal currently under investigation, such corruption or similar corruptions can continue to surface in the future."

He continued, "Then new victims will arise," adding, "Those victims could be ourselves, or our family members or relatives."

Meanwhile, on the 1st, MBC reported an interview with Lee Cheol, former CEO of Value Investment Korea and major shareholder of SillaJen, stating that in 2014, former Minister Choi invested 500 million won in SillaJen convertible bonds, and his close associates invested 6 billion won.
