[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] On the 19th, Attorney Shin Pyeong, who served as co-chairman of the Public Interest Whistleblower Support Committee during President Moon Jae-in's presidential campaign, stated that "'Ddaekkaemun' (a derogatory term for people who blindly support President Moon) are unfit for democracy."

In a post on his Facebook that day, Attorney Shin said, "Throughout human history, people have created and valued things like manners when conversing with others, but 'Ddaekkaemun' do not hesitate to speak rudely to others, lack refinement, and have tendencies that deny the democratic system."

He added, "Our society is now swarming like hornets at those who are perceived to even slightly block the light bestowed by the great 'Dallnim' (a reference to President Moon), leading to personal ruin," and criticized, "'Ddaekkaemun' are unfit for democracy regardless of how single-mindedly loyal they are to the great 'Dallnim.'"

Attorney Shin also described the current era as a "golden age of defamation." He said, "From high-ranking officials to those in power, people are losing their temper and disregarding the noble value of 'freedom of the press' in a democratic society."

He expressed his opinion, stating, "Prosecutorial reform is nothing more than the neutralization of prosecutorial power. The ruling party's prosecutorial reform is the strongest strategic move for the long-term rule of progressive forces," and added, "As the administration enters its latter half, the prosecution, which commonly investigated power collusion scandals that lowered the administration's approval ratings and enabled regime change, intends to put an end to this detestable behavior."

He further claimed, "The shameless acceptance by progressive elites and the feast of gold standard aesthetics will become more frequent, and blind flattery and praise toward power may echo through the streets."
