[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized cartoonist Park Jae-dong, who sparked controversy with his caricature of "Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol with a severed neck," saying, "Stop showing your old ugliness (노추, nochu)."

Earlier, Park faced criticism for the high level of satire in his caricature of "Prosecutor General Yoon with a severed neck," published in Gyeonggi Newspaper on the 26th of last month. However, on the 2nd, Park posted another caricature titled "Prosecutor General Yoon with a stitched neck." The caricature included a sarcastic speech bubble saying, "The neck is reattached, but who knows how long it will last. Please be careful."

In response, on the 3rd, former professor Jin shared Park’s caricature on his Facebook and fiercely condemned it, saying, "What needs to be cut is not Yoon Seok-yeol’s neck but Park Jae-dong’s XX (a euphemism for genitalia)." This appears to be an indirect criticism of allegations that Park sexually harassed a junior cartoonist in 2018.

He continued, "Yoon Seok-yeol’s neck has been reattached, but the XX that the court cut will never be reconnected," adding, "Stop showing your old ugliness. Do you think the severed XX will reattach because of this? You are making me throw away even the last fragile thread of affection I had left."

Earlier, on the 29th of last month, Jin also targeted Park, sarcastically saying, "Sexual harassment must be the prosecution’s fault," and "Since I cut off the neck of the prosecution that indicted me for sexual harassment, my innocence has been proven."

He further harshly criticized, "This is the shadow of someone who was accused of heinous sexual harassment, went to trial, and said, ‘I don’t remember but I apologize,’" and added, "Their brain structure is filled with a sense of chosenness and a binary view of good and evil."
