[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon responded on the 3rd to the statement by Choi Kang-wook, leader of the Open Democratic Party, who said that "Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol has effectively carried out a coup," by quoting former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk's past remarks.

On that day, Jin posted on his Facebook, "Cho Kuk and Choi Kang-wook, a major clash. A civil war has broken out," sharing a past tweet by former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk.

Jin criticized Choi's statement by using Cho's words: "The righteous advocate Cho Kuk, unable to tolerate the actions of bullies, sharply rebukes Representative Choi Kang-wook, saying, 'Not following an illegal or unjust order from a superior is not insubordination but a duty.'"

This was a tweet Cho Kuk posted on October 22, 2013, when he was a law professor at Seoul National University.

At that time, Cho said, "The media is trying to muddy the waters by framing the actions of Kwon Eun-hee and Yoon Seok-yeol as 'insubordination versus conviction,' but not following an illegal or unjust order from a superior is not 'insubordination' but a 'duty.'"

This statement was made in relation to Prosecutor General Yoon, who was the head of the special investigation team for the National Intelligence Service (NIS) comment manipulation case, conducting a search and seizure of the NIS and executing an arrest warrant despite opposition from his superiors.

Jin further stated, "Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol should fulfill his duty," and criticized, "Choi Kang-wook should reveal the full details of the vile plot he conspired with the swindler Mr. Ji to the public and apologize profusely. How dare you try to deceive the people?"
