[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] On the 28th, Shin Dong-geun, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, strongly criticized former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon, saying, "He has fallen into bias due to his obsession with hostility toward Cho Kuk and the Moon Jae-in administration." In response, former professor Jin rebutted, "The regime destroying the national system is a situation occurring outside Jin Joong-kwon's psychology."

On the same day, Shin posted on his Facebook explaining the 'gorilla experiment' that causes attention illusion, stating, "When you obsess over one thing, you fall into bias where you only see what you want to see," and pointed out, "I recalled the gorilla experiment when looking at Jin Joong-kwon."

He said, "Jin Joong-kwon often says that the Moon Jae-in administration seems like a totalitarian government," adding, "Since he also participated in movements resisting Chun Doo-hwan's military dictatorship during his university days, he must vividly remember what totalitarianism is. Now, Jin Joong-kwon is saying whatever he wants without any burden," criticizing him.

In response, former professor Jin also posted on his Facebook the same day, saying, "Shin is whining again, but I will say just one thing," and countered, "Do not psychologize social issues."

He said, "The regime destroying the national system is an objective situation occurring outside Jin Joong-kwon's psychology," and questioned, "Are you trying to hide all the regime's failures by pushing them into Jin Joong-kwon's mind?"

He continued, "Did you drink water in a skull?" and added, "This person has become Wonhyo Daesa. Ilcheyu Simjo (一切唯心造, everything is created solely by the mind)," delivering a sharp remark.

Previously, the two had a verbal dispute on social networking services (SNS) last month. On the 10th of last month, when former professor Jin sarcastically called President Moon Jae-in the 'protocol president,' Shin criticized, "Looking at Jin Joong-kwon's words and writings, he is in a serious state of self-splitting."

In response, former professor Jin mocked, "Why do those who cannot even say a word to the chef at Okryugwan pick on only me?"
