[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon targeted former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk on the 7th through social networking services (SNS), posting a photo supporting the abolition of preferential treatment for former officials and media reform, saying, "(Cho Kuk) himself also used preferential treatment for former officials. Current deep-rooted evils, look in the mirror."

On the same day, Professor Jin wrote on his Facebook, "For our society to progress, we must first clear out the 586 deep-rooted evils. Most of the old deep-rooted evils have been cleared," he said.

He claimed, "Almost all of the ongoing deep-rooted evil cases involve the Democratic Party and its affiliated figures," adding, "Yet these current deep-rooted evil forces still mistakenly believe they are the agents of 'clearing out deep-rooted evils.'"

He emphasized, "They are not the agents but the targets of clearing out," and "This old militarism of the activist groups and narrow nationalism are the deep-rooted evils that must be cleared."

He continued, "Think about the last general election. 'The 21st general election is a Korea-Japan match.' Seriously, this was a slogan used on a poster of a political party," criticizing, "They probably delude themselves into thinking they are engaged in noble independence and patriotic movements. If they had been born during the colonial period, they would have been sycophants to the Japanese Governor-General's office, flattering Imperial Japan."

Professor Jin referred to a recent photo posted by former Minister Cho Kuk on his SNS, saying, "There is a good example showing why clearing out the current 586 deep-rooted evils is important at this moment," and "Former Minister Cho Kuk recently posted a picture on Twitter."

He added, "The next step after adjusting the investigative authority between the prosecution and police is the 'abolition of preferential treatment for former officials' and 'media reform,'" claiming, "MBC has become a state-run broadcaster, pro-government media and pro-government journalists are rampant everywhere, the Korea Communications Standards Commission punishes broadcasts they dislike, and on top of that, they even carry out terrorism in broad daylight."
