[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized on the 4th, saying, "Are you saying it was not Minister Chu Mi-ae's aide but her son's aide?" amid Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae's denial of the aide's military base phone call regarding their 'vacation privilege' allegations.

On the same day, Jin posted on his Facebook, "Are you saying the fact that the son wanted a vacation was telepathically transmitted directly from the son's mind without going through Minister Chu?"

He continued with sharp criticism, saying, "The call was made, but Minister Chu didn't know? Please say something that makes sense," and "What reason would a lawmaker's aide have to call a lawmaker's son's military base?"

He added, "Is it so difficult to just enter university like everyone else and serve in the military like everyone else?" and "Anyway, these 'super elites' are exactly the new species that ordinary professors should report to academia."

He also sarcastically remarked, "Since they are a new species with mammalian characteristics, Professor Seo will win the Nobel Prize in Biology. Let's produce some Nobel laureates too."

Earlier on the 4th, Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Nam-guk claimed in an interview with MBC Radio's 'Kim Jong-bae's Focus' that "I confirmed through the Ministry of National Defense, and it seems that (Minister Chu's aide) did make the call," and "I checked the facts, and it is said that Minister Chu did not directly order it."

Minister Chu had explained on the 1st at the National Assembly Budget and Accounts Committee, "There is no fact that (the aide called the military). Why would an aide receive instructions for such a personal matter? There is no such fact."
