[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon responded to actress Kim Bu-seon’s claim that she was rejected after asking him out on a light aircraft date by saying, "The code is interesting."

On the afternoon of the 16th, appearing on CBS Radio's 'Hanpan Seungbu,' former professor Jin was asked by a listener, "Did you really offer to take Kim Bu-seon on a plane?" Jin replied, "I probably did," adding, "I told everyone I meet that I would take them on a plane," and "I was an evangelist for light aircraft."

Jin explained, "Shim Sang-jung, a member of the National Assembly, also rode my plane, as did Professor Jeong Gyeong-sim. Even Professor Jang Gyeong-wook, who appeared as a witness for Professor Jeong, took a ride." However, he said, "Among all the people who have ridden my plane, Kim Bu-seon seems to be the only one who understood it as a date proposal."

He also mocked Kim’s Facebook post on the 8th, where she wrote, "Honestly, former professor Jin has no rational charm at all. Date rejected," saying, "The code that interprets that as a date proposal was amusing," and added, "She’s not my style."

Earlier, on the 6th, during the Democratic Party presidential primary, when suspicions related to the scandal between Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung and Kim resurfaced, former professor Jin stated, "(Kim) failed to present objective evidence," and "It’s a story that’s already over, and there’s no need to verify an issue that has already been settled."

In response, Kim posted on her Facebook, "Former professor Jin seems to collect evidence in case of divorce when dating between the opposite sexes," and sarcastically wrote, "Could it be that you are making such nonsense because I rejected your long-ago date proposal to take me on a light aircraft?"
