[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon] Former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Joon-pyo responded to former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon, who criticized him as a 'runaway dog,' by saying, "To a dog's eyes, everyone looks like a dog."

On the 16th, Hong posted on his Facebook, "If you keep talking without knowing your place, you might be treated like a dog yourself," expressing this view.

On the previous day (15th), Professor Jin attended a closed-door discussion hosted by Future United Party lawmakers Oh Shin-hwan and Yoo Ui-dong at the National Assembly Members' Office Building titled "Lost Conservative Politics, What is the Solution?" As a presenter, he targeted Hong, saying, "A person who even ran for president goes out and barks at his own home. Not even a dog," criticizing him.

Hong said, "Although he is rejected by the left and has nowhere to go, it is truly pitiful to be lurking around the right-wing side," and urged, "He should stop and be cautious."

He added, "In Buddha's eyes, everyone looks like Buddha," and said, "I see Jin Joong-kwon as the Buddha of the left."

He also stated, "If everyone running in their hometown is a dog, then all 20 or so members of the National Assembly who ran in their hometowns are dogs," mentioning that former Presidents Kim Dae-jung and Kim Young-sam also ran in their hometowns.
