[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon mocked the ruling party by posting the '2020 Four-Character Idioms' criticizing them.

On the 19th, former professor Jin said, "We are holding a popularity vote for the 2020 Four-Character Idioms," presenting the candidates as "1. Joronambul 2. Tushinseongin 3. Cheonbangjichu 4. Munpaguri."

He added in the comments, "1. Jo Guk 2. Deng Jin-ung 3. Chu Mi-ae 4. Moon Jae-in," saying, "It is also a vote for the person of the year."

He then explained, "1. 'Joronambul' means a year in which the falsehood and hypocrisy of those who so-called claim democracy and reform were blatantly revealed. 2. 'Tushinseongin' means a year when capable and principled people were persecuted, and incompetent careerists threw themselves into loyalty competitions. 3. 'Cheonbangjichu' means a year when releasing just one dog from the Blue House completely ruined a national institution. 4. 'Jjapaguri' means a year when it became clear that the country's president was nothing but a puppet manipulated by Tak Hyun-min-style directing."

Meanwhile, former professor Jin has been continuously criticizing the current government and the progressive camp since leaving the Justice Party in January. On the 8th, in an interview, he criticized, "I am inherently progressive and left-wing. However, the Democratic Party has taken the name 'progressive' and ruined everything, making 'progressive' synonymous with the upper echelon."
