[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-ju] After a man in his 20s who posted a large notice criticizing President Moon Jae-in on a university campus recently received a guilty verdict in court, the conservative organization National Council of University Student Representatives (Jeondaehyeop) responded by posting notices criticizing President Moon again across universities nationwide.

Jeondaehyeop announced that between the afternoon of the 28th and the 29th of this month, they posted 5,000 notices on 430 university campuses nationwide.

The title of the notice is "With Burning Thirst, Long Live Democracy." In the notice, Jeondaehyeop emphasized, "A guilty verdict on a notice has been issued, something that did not happen even during the Jeon Du-hwan regime," and "Those who spoke of democracy now oppress democracy more than anyone else after coming to power."

Jeondaehyeop claimed, "Those who spoke of human rights now suppress freedom of expression more than anyone else after coming to power. Those who spoke of overthrowing dictatorship now control all three branches of government and exercise dictatorial power."

Although Jeondaehyeop uses the same name as the university student activist group active between 1987 and 1993, it is reported that they have no relation to that group. They have been engaging in activities such as posting notices criticizing the government since last year.

Earlier, on the 23rd of this month, Cheonan Branch of Daejeon District Court Criminal Division 3, presided over by Chief Judge Hong Seong-wook, sentenced Kim (25), who was charged with posting a notice criticizing President Moon inside a building on Dankook University Cheonan Campus last November (trespassing), to a fine of 500,000 won.
