[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] On the 17th, the co-representative of the conservative-leaning professors' group 'National Professors' Association for Social Justice (Jeonggyomo)' filed a complaint and accusation against Kim Eo-jun for defaming the honor of the National Association of Law Professors (hereinafter referred to as the Professors' Association) on a radio broadcast.

Lee Ho-seon, a professor at the College of Law at Kookmin University and co-representative of Jeonggyomo, stated on the same day, "Kim Eo-jun, while hosting News Factory on November 28, 2017, falsely claimed that 'the Professors' Association, whose existence is unclear, is misleading public opinion,' thereby defaming the Professors' Association and myself as its representative," and announced that he would file a complaint and accusation with the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters.

At that time, the Professors' Association issued a statement saying "Acts that undermine the independence of the judiciary should be restrained" after the Seoul Central District Court decided to release former Minister of National Defense Kim Kwan-jin and former Policy Director Lim Gwan-bin through a detention review, amid online personal information exposure and dismissal petitions against the judge who made the decision.
