[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 24th, Heo Eun-ah, a member of the People Power Party, commented on the sentencing of Jeong Gyeong-sim, a professor at Dongyang University and wife of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, who was tried on charges related to her children's admission fraud and private equity fund investments, receiving a 4-year prison sentence in the first trial. She stated, "Watching Professor Jeong's verdict yesterday proved the common sense that 'criminals must be punished,'" adding, "It was a day as if Santa Claus of common sense had already visited."


On the same day, Representative Heo wrote on Facebook, "Today, the court's second hearing will determine whether the disciplinary action against Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol remains effective," and said, "It seems to be the final battle with Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae. I hope once again that Santa Claus of justice will visit."


Heo pointed out, "Someone might make a fuss, shouting 'Thief! Robber!' at these Santas and call for judicial reform," adding, "But those who try to treat Santa as criminals are the real devils."


Heo said, "This winter feels as if the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is taking away our physical lives, and the unfairness of the Moon Jae-in administration is trying to take away our social lives," and expressed hope that "another hope will begin."
