Jin Joong-kwon "Attacks Side Dish Shop Owner... Silent on North Korea Okryugwan Chef"
Okryugwan Chef Silent on President Moon's Mockery
Previously Attacked by Merchants for Being 'Irreverent'
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon pointed out that "none of those who once got angry about insulting the president have stepped forward" in response to the North Korean Okryugwan chef's harsh criticism of President Moon Jae-in.
On the 14th, Jin posted on his Facebook, saying, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Ministry of Unification does not necessarily need to respond to North Korea's childish actions at the same level," but added, "Someone needs to represent the displeasure our people feel about North Korea's provocations."
He continued, "That role should be played by lawmakers, and it would be even better if ruling party lawmakers do it," and criticized, "But none of those who once got angry about insulting the president have stepped forward."
This is interpreted as a criticism of President Moon's supporters who remain silent about the Okryugwan chef's slander, who said, "When they eat noodles, they act as if they are going to do something big, but after leaving, they have done nothing at all," referring to President Moon.
In February, when President Moon visited a traditional market in Asan, Chungnam, he asked a merchant about the economic situation, and the merchant replied, "It feels like being a beggar," which sparked controversy. At that time, President Moon's supporters repeatedly called the store, criticizing the merchant's tone as disrespectful to the president.
