[Asia Economy Reporter Kim So-young] Singer Lee Seung-hwan revealed a photo certifying the book 'The Time of Jo Guk' by former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk through social networking service (SNS).

On the 26th, Lee Seung-hwan posted on his Facebook, "It rained all night," and added, "When the weather clears, may the united advance continue. On the path someone firmly stepped on and paved," along with a photo of former Minister Cho Kuk's memoir, 'The Time of Jo Guk.'

In response, former Minister Cho Kuk directly commented, "Thank you for reading it, fellow 1965-born famous singer." Lee Seung-hwan and former Minister Cho Kuk were both born in 1965 and are 57 years old this year.

To Cho's comment, Lee Seung-hwan replied, "I hope more people read it," and joked, "But about the age of celebrities..."

Also, Cho Kuk left a comment saying, "As you might have found in the book, the phrase 'Isn't the world all under your feet?' was so precise." Previously, in December last year, Lee Seung-hwan posted on SNS about the news of then Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl's reinstatement, writing, "Isn't the world all under your feet?"

Then Lee Seung-hwan replied, "So maybe JoongAng, Chosun, and Dong-A newspapers simultaneously published articles about me at the same time because I said something right."

Later, through another post, Lee Seung-hwan shared a comment from a netizen on his earlier 'The Time of Jo Guk' certification post that said, "Isn't it too much that a high school student is listed as the first author? Wrong is wrong," and wrote, "Is this a block-worthy comment?"

Meanwhile, comedian Kim Young-min, who currently runs a conservative-leaning channel called 'Naesishipbun,' asked through SNS, "My star from childhood," and added, "It's free to be absorbed in any thought and idolize anyone, but please reduce contempt and hate speech toward people with different opinions."

He continued, "As someone who sincerely respects the musical achievements he left behind, I feel truly sad," and said, "I will also be more careful with hate speech, expressing myself with constructive criticism while thinking of those who cared for me. And if a figure like Cho Kuk appears in the right-wing camp, I will strongly criticize them."
