Cha Myung-jin Harshly Criticizes "Jin Joong-kwon Is Frivolous and Ignorant, Readers Even More Ignorant"
[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] Former lawmaker Cha Myung-jin, who tested positive for COVID-19 after participating in the Gwanghwamun rally on the 15th, criticized former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon as "ignorant and frivolous."
On the 26th, Cha posted on his Facebook, "Why does Jin Joong-kwon label anything and everything as far-right or nationalist? He has no consistent or central historical perspective. Therefore, he cannot distinguish between the liberal right and totalitarianism," he said.
Referring to a column Jin wrote for JoongAng Ilbo that day, Cha said, "Jin Joong-kwon’s characterization of the liberal right as nationalist is completely baseless," and criticized, "It’s like a child who just started learning to speak, attaching words they don’t understand here and there, playing word games."
He continued, "Jin Joong-kwon claims the liberal right is totalitarian because they are waging a systemic war. What kind of nonsense is that?"
Cha stated, "The left is now imposing a COVID-19 martial law, erasing individual freedoms and human rights, which is a product of their totalitarian ideology. That is why the liberal right is engaged in a systemic war against them," adding, "His slander that the liberal right spread COVID-19 through the August 15 rally will have consequences."
He further said, "Jin Joong-kwon also gave a free pass elsewhere, saying that right-wing resistance acts threaten collective well-being and thus deserve to be suppressed," claiming, "That is the tooth of totalitarianism."

He concluded, "Readers of his work are even more ignorant and frivolous. That is why the Jin Joong-kwon brand is flying off the shelves in the Korean criticism market," and criticized, "The toxic gas Jin Joong-kwon emits is becoming another virus to the spirit of the Korean people."
