[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized Choi Kang-wook, a former Blue House official in charge of public service discipline and a proportional representative-elect of the Open Democratic Party, who was indicted for issuing a false internship confirmation letter for the child of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, saying, "Either claim the confirmation letter is genuine, or admit it is fake but argue that it is not a crime?just pick one."

On the 21st, Professor Jin wrote on his Facebook, "There is no need for Choi Kang-wook's words," and said, "Present a witness who saw that child (former Minister Cho's son) working as an intern in the office."

He added, "If he actually interned, at least the office staff would have seen it," and said, "It's time for this world to collapse when a thief scolds the police."

Before entering the courtroom, Choi Kang-wook stood at the photo line set up at the court entrance and said, "They are lying without properly explaining the indictment details, timing, procedural process, and the numerous abuses of authority that occurred during the process," and criticized, "The ones who should actually be in court are the prosecutors engaged in prosecutorial politics, who are fewer than a handful."

Meanwhile, Choi Kang-wook was indicted in January for issuing a false internship confirmation letter to Cho Mo, the son of former Minister Cho, in 2017.
