[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Jin Joong-kwon, former professor at Dongyang University, criticized Choi Kang-wook, the proportional representative-elect of the Open Democratic Party, who was indicted for issuing a false internship certificate to the son of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, on the 20th, saying, "The sight of him acting arrogantly wearing an armband is ridiculous."

On the same day, Jin posted on his Facebook targeting Choi, saying, "Prepare well for the trial. Take the investigation more modestly like others. The suspect's attitude looks very bad. What has he done well?"

Earlier, on the 17th, Choi wrote on his Facebook, "I promised prosecutorial reform and media reform. I will repay so that everyone can clearly feel that the world has changed." He added, "The dirty schemes of a corrupt group that is less than a handful will continue. If I were afraid of that, I wouldn't have stepped forward. At least, I have not lived more dirty than those wicked ones. Please watch and join me."

In response, Jin replied on his Facebook on the same day, "Stay tuned. I look forward to it. I wonder how many more incidents will be caused in the future," and said, "Our Uk-yi, do whatever you want." He also pointed out, "The corruption of Yoo Jae-soo, the cover-up of that corruption, interference in the Ulsan mayoral election, forgery of private documents, private equity funds, VIK (Value Investment Korea), Shinrajen, Lime Fund, etc. The 'corrupt group' says they will fully show that the world has changed."

Meanwhile, Choi, who worked as a lawyer at the law firm Cheongmaek, is accused of being involved in issuing false internship certificates twice in 2017 and 2018 for Cho Mo, the son of former Minister Cho Kuk. The first trial of Choi will be held on the 21st at the Seoul Central District Court Criminal Division 9 (Presiding Judge Jeong Jong-geon).
