Lee Jun-seok "20s Women, Quickly Cut Ties with Jin Joong-kwon"

Former Supreme Council Member of the People Power Party, Lee Jun-seok.

[Asia Economy Reporter Joo-mi Lee] Former People Power Party Supreme Council member Lee Jun-seok recently made a direct remark regarding former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon, with whom he has been engaged in debates over feminism, saying, "Women in their 20s should quickly cut ties with Professor Jin."

On the 28th, Lee shared an article related to a public opinion poll on his Facebook, stating, "Public opinion is divided on the issue of women's military service, and 6 out of 10 people responded that the Constitutional Court's ruling against the military bonus points system was wrong." In this poll, 48.8% supported the female conscription system, while 44.9% opposed it.

Regarding the poll results, Lee claimed, "Thanks to Professor Jin's recent activities, these figures have been updated to an all-time high." This implies that the more Professor Jin advocates feminist views, the more people support female conscription as a counterbalance.

He added, "What is even more surprising is that both Lee Jun-seok and Ha Tae-kyung have advocated for a female voluntary service system that provides thorough compensation and treatment for military service regardless of gender, rather than female conscription."

He then pointedly said, "At this point, wouldn't it be better for Professor Jin to join forces with Lee Jun-seok and Ha Tae-kyung to suppress the 'alt-right' groups that are growing because of him?"

Earlier, Professor Jin criticized in a media column that day, "About ten years ago, I advised two smart young conservatives to 'study hard.' One of them was former People Power Party Supreme Council member Lee Jun-seok," adding, "I still care about him, but he is going down a strange path and does not listen to criticism."

He continued, "Lee's insistence on interpreting the votes of young men in their 20s as an expression of anti-feminism, which no one agrees with, is merely a personal ideology for his position within the party," and argued, "His anti-feminist campaign only serves to permanently alienate women in their 20s and 30s who might have come to the People Power Party."
