New book by Professor Lee Jeong-gi of Dongmyung University.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Professor Lee Jeong-gi of the Department of Advertising and Public Relations at Dongmyung University has released a sequel to 'The Reality of Freedom of Expression in Korea.'

Dongmyung University announced on the 9th that Professor Lee will publish his book, 'The Reality of Freedom of Expression in Korea 2, Seoul; Communication Books,' on the 10th. It is a follow-up book published by the same publisher in June 2016.

This book is composed of 10 chapters including ▲ the rebound of the freedom of expression index ▲ criticism of progressive media by progressive intellectuals ▲ controversies over the infringement of freedom of expression by public figures ▲ lawsuits against media companies by the presidential secretariat ▲ parody regulations on public figures ▲ restrictions on political expression by teachers ▲ distribution of leaflets to North Korea and freedom of expression ▲ hate speech and freedom of expression ▲ anti-discrimination law and freedom of expression ▲ cases of contraction of freedom of expression.

In the new book, as in the previous one, Professor Lee summarizes his research results related to freedom of expression, his thoughts on freedom of expression, and experiences of the chilling effect.

While the first book discussed freedom of expression under the conservative administrations of Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye, this book discusses freedom of expression under the progressive Moon Jae-in administration.

From his own perspective, Professor Lee presents the conditions for freedom of expression in Korean society to advance to the next level. In the book, Professor Lee argues that although freedom of expression under the Moon Jae-in administration has made progress compared to previous conservative administrations, it is still not sufficient as chilling effects continue to appear in various situations.
