[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon raised his voice of criticism toward Jeong Bong-ju, the Supreme Council member of the Open Democratic Party, saying, "The originator of the comment army is blaming the comment army."

On the 13th, former professor Jin posted a link to Jeong's YouTube video on his Facebook and said this.

In the video, Supreme Council member Jeong said, "So many people come in and curse in the comments. These so-called people are keyboard warriors, and I really think these people should not do this. Please don't do such things. These are really bad habits. It's at the level of cursing and venting here. Personally, I really hate such behavior," he expressed.

Regarding this, former professor Jin pointed out, "I can't believe such words are coming from Jeong Bong-ju's mouth," adding, "Until now, he led the seasoning troops and caused so much inconvenience to many people. It seems his thoughts have changed after experiencing that 'seasoning' himself."

He continued, "How does the 'seasoning' taste? That's not even being attacked," saying, "Wasn't it just once that some Democratic Party supporters targeted him? We live daily under the combined firepower of the entire Democratic Party + Open Democratic Party forces."

He added, "What is an incident to you is everyday life to us," and "That's why I told you to cut this person off."

Earlier, on the previous day (the 12th), Supreme Council member Jeong, on his YouTube channel 'BJ TV,' said, "I understood the request to vote for the Democratic Citizens Party," but criticized the Democratic Party leadership, saying, "During this election period, you slandered me, defamed me, treated me like a street thug garbage, and officially spat it out with your own mouths," stirring controversy.

He also caused a stir by cursing at netizens who left critical comments, saying, "Go home and sleep instead of wasting time on negativity, you bastards."

On the 13th, Supreme Council member Jeong apologized through YouTube, saying, "Yesterday, while appealing for support for our candidates, I used inappropriate expressions," and "I sincerely apologize to those who watched the broadcast and to Open Democratic Party supporters."
