[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized former Democratic Party leader and presidential candidate Lee Nak-yeon on the 23rd, saying, "He acts like Putin or Duterte but feels no shame."

On the same day, Jin shared an article titled 'Yoon "Media Gag Law"... Lee Nak-yeon "Not true, absurd criticism"' on his Facebook, expressing his views.

Earlier, former leader Lee Nak-yeon rebutted former Prosecutor General and People Power Party presidential candidate Yoon Seok-youl’s claim that the Media Arbitration Act is a "media gag law," saying, "Having been a prosecutor for nearly half a lifetime, he cannot be unaware of the law’s purpose and limits, so such criticism must have an ulterior motive," and added, "It is not true and is an absurd criticism that is impossible."

Professor Jin first targeted Lee Nak-yeon, saying, "He acts like Putin or Duterte but feels no shame."

He continued, "Candidate Lee Nak-yeon, I have a question," and asked, "Is the report that the Dongyang University certificate was forged real news or fake news?" He also added, "Candidate Lee Jae-myung, please answer as well."

Professor Jin has posted several criticisms of the Media Arbitration Act on Facebook before. On the 21st, he compared the Democratic Party, which announced the forced passage of the Media Arbitration Act, to the Islamic militant group 'Taliban,' saying, "They are like the Taliban, unfamiliar with the modern judicial system. Anyway, they govern according to the 'Dallia' law of hardcore Moon Jae-in supporters. There is also an excellent legal scholar named Cho Kuk there," he pointed out. On the 22nd, he strongly criticized again, saying, "The Media Arbitration Act is ultimately an extension of the Cho Kuk incident. Cho Kuk is a disaster for this country."
