[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae, who described media coverage as 'voyeurism toward female ministers,' saying, "It's not that the media has voyeurism, but that Chu herself suffers from exhibitionism."

On the same day, Jin shared a post by Minister Chu on his Facebook, stating, "What is there to boast about using an official car during vacation? Is 'reform' about creating a country where the media remains silent even if a minister uses an official car for personal vacation?"

He added, "She just needs to apologize by saying 'sorry' and end it, but she creates unnecessary noise," and strongly criticized, "Refusing to admit wrongdoing and insisting that it is a noble act of reform is a chronic disease among people in this government."

Earlier, on the 14th, Minister Chu criticized the media through Facebook, saying, "The media's voyeuristic tendencies toward female ministers are severe. I will generously overlook the incompetence that ignores the truth," and added, "The addiction to voyeurism has crossed the line. If it were a male minister, would anyone mockingly title articles asking who took photos of a minister steadfastly performing their duties?"

She claimed, "On the first day I took leave and went to a mountain temple, the atmosphere of people searching for my whereabouts was unusual," and "After that, the media was in an uproar all day trying to find my location. They even tracked down the temple in the photos I posted."

In another post, Minister Chu pointed out, "Problematic media continues to produce problematic reports. It's impressive," and criticized, "If this is the response to voyeuristic reporting, it is even more disappointing."

She further stated, "The prosecution and media are forming an anti-reform alliance against democratic citizens who desire reform," and "The progressive newspaper that supports voyeuristic reporting is also a legal affairs correspondent. I will unsubscribe."
