[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] The verbal dispute between attorney Jeong Cheolseung, legal representative of the family of the late former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon, and former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon intensified on the 10th. Earlier, the family of the late mayor had filed a defamation lawsuit against Jin on charges of defaming the deceased.

On the same day, attorney Jeong posted on his Facebook, opening with, "If you don't know who the other party is, you shouldn't provoke recklessly."

He said, "The world is vast, and there are many masters and monsters, so it is better not to fight if possible. But if you inevitably cannot avoid a fight, you should cautiously explore the opponent's strength and, if necessary, plan to escape," adding, "That is the secret why the Japanese sword master Miyamoto Musashi never lost a single fight in his lifetime."

He continued, "It's the same in fights, so what is the psychology of someone who keeps provoking and being cheeky even while getting hit?" and asked, "Is it an extension of foolishness that invited the beating? Or is it a desperate resignation that this life is ruined? Honestly, I'm not that curious. If they ask to be hit harder, I will hit harder," which appears to be aimed at former professor Jin, with whom he exchanged words on social media.

Attorney Jeong had also claimed the day before, "It seems that Mr. Jin Joong-kwon has entered the second stage of the five stages of grief by K?bler-Ross, which is anger."

The 'five stages of grief' by K?bler-Ross mentioned by attorney Jeong categorize the psychological process of a person who has been diagnosed with death recognizing and accepting it into five stages. The five stages are composed of 'denial → anger → bargaining → depression → acceptance.'

Meanwhile, on the 3rd, former professor Jin shared an article reporting attorney Jeong's Facebook post stating, "There is no Korean man who surpasses former Mayor Park's gender sensitivity," and wrote, "Most men, whether sensitive or not, do not commit sexual harassment."

In response, attorney Jeong stated his intention to take legal action, saying, "Former professor Jin posted on Facebook implying that former Mayor Park committed sexual harassment."

Then, former professor Jin replied, "Do you think I will back down? The lawyer is quite cute," adding, "As a debater, I get sued once every two months. You picked the wrong person." He continued, "Since you sued me, now stop bothering me and just shut up."
