[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Choyoung] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk on the 31st, saying, "He is a disaster for the progressive camp, and that disaster shows no sign of stopping."

On the same day, Professor Jin shared an article on his Facebook about Cho Kuk's upcoming book, "The Time of Cho Kuk," set to be published on the 1st of next month, mentioning that presidential candidates from the Democratic Party of Korea and some pro-Moon Jae-in figures are sending messages of support. He also claimed that "Cho Kuk may not just be an individual but possibly a collective symbol of a certain group" regarding Cho Kuk's relationship with the progressive camp.

On the 29th, Professor Jin also pointed out Cho Kuk, saying, "To become a presidential candidate, one must flatter the Cho Kuk faction, which widens the gap between party sentiment and public opinion," and added, "Anyway, this guy's mentality is a subject worthy of study."

Earlier, on the 27th, Cho Kuk announced the publication of his book on Facebook, stating, "Although I am currently on trial amid the overwhelming spread of false information disseminated by the cartel of prosecutors, media, and conservative opposition parties, I thought I should provide at least a minimal explanation. I dedicate this book to the millions of candlelight citizens."
