[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon named Jung Eun-kyung, head of the Central Disease Control Headquarters, as the only trustworthy figure in the Moon Jae-in administration on the 17th.


On that day, former professor Jin shared a regular briefing video by Director Jung on his Facebook and said, "She is the only trustworthy person in this government," adding, "She alone is sustaining a completely failed regime."


Earlier, on the 12th, former professor Jin also praised Director Jung.


At that time, he said, "It was not the lawmakers or ministers but actually the Disease Control Headquarters led by Director Jung that saved the Moon administration," and added, "President Moon may have many regrets in this life, but at least in his past lives, he must have saved the country several times."

Contrary to his praise for Director Jung, former professor Jin has been continuously criticizing President Moon.


On the 16th, he said to President Moon, "I hope the president would send a message that unites the people to respond together against COVID-19, rather than a message that divides the people," and pointed out, "The president should represent all citizens, not a specific political party. In this situation, it is appropriate not to turn churches into enemies but to persuade the religious community and urge their cooperation."


He continued, "I hope not only the president but also lawmakers from all parties and politicians act more responsibly during this national emergency," emphasizing, "This is not a matter of approval ratings. This concerns the lives of the people."



Earlier, President Moon, in a post on his Facebook, criticized the Gwanghwamun rally led by conservative groups, saying, "By strictly punishing illegal acts that undermine public peace and order, the government will fulfill its mission to prioritize the safety of the people and firmly establish the rule of law," and added, "The government cannot help but take very firm and strong measures, even by mobilizing coercive means."
