[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon satirized a letter from Park Jeong-sook, the chairperson of Woongdong Foundation and mother of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, on the 29th. Jin mocked Park's so-called 'son's cross' letter, saying, "Having endured suffering, he was hung on the iron bar; imagine how the Virgin Mary must feel seeing that."


On the same day, Jin posted a captured photo of a 'pull-up certification shot' previously revealed by former Minister Cho on his Facebook, commenting in this manner.


He parodied a passage from Mark chapter 15, criticizing, "Jesus married Mary Magdalene, had a daughter and son, and then forged certificates to send the children to Jerusalem University."


Jin also said, "He created a private equity fund, bought stocks using insider information, and was caught conducting nominee transactions under the name of Peter all the way in the land of Egypt."


This appears to criticize the first and appellate courts' rulings that all the so-called '7 major specs' used by Professor Jeong-sim Chung of Dongyang University for her children's admissions were false, as well as the guilty verdict related to the Coring Private Equity (Coring PE) charges.

Earlier, on the 26th, Park, mother of former Minister Cho, sent a letter to Kim In-guk, former representative (priest) of the Catholic Priests' Association for Justice, stating, "I am enduring and praying for the Lord's grace and mercy, experiencing the heart of the Virgin Mary who suffered watching her son crucified on the cross for over two years now."


She added, "I do not know when I will come out of this long tunnel of pain, but I believe it is a mission that must be fulfilled as a legal scholar of this era for democracy," and "I believe that a bright day will come someday."



In response to growing controversy, former Minister Cho stated on the 27th, "My mother never compared her son to 'Jesus' in the letter sent to Father Kim In-guk."
