[Asia Economy Reporter Donghoon Jeong] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon was recently fined for insulting a private individual.


According to the court on the 8th, the Seoul Western District Court issued a summary order imposing a fine of 1 million won on former professor Jin, who was summarily indicted in August for the charge of insult.


A summary order means that when the prosecution requests the court to impose a fine or penalty through written review instead of a trial, the court reviews the documents and imposes a sentence without a formal trial.



Since former professor Jin did not request a formal trial, the fine of 1 million won was finalized. It is known that former professor Jin was sued in March for calling a private individual who posted political opinions on social networking services (SNS) a "doldae-gari" (blockhead).
