[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Chung Yong-jin, Vice Chairman of Shinsegae Group, has been posting messages on social networking services (SNS) expressing his dislike of the 'Gongsandang' (Communist Party) day after day.

On the 19th, Vice Chairman Chung posted a screenshot of a news report conveying concerns about shareholder damage and consumer backlash due to his 'Gongsandang' remarks on his Instagram, writing, "Kongkong still kongkongkongkong kongkongkong." He also posted a photo with the caption, "I ate a Futomaki that fills you up with just one piece. Today again, kongkongkongkong kongkongkong." The word "Kong" appears to be a euphemistic reference to the Communist Party.

Earlier, on the 15th, Vice Chairman Chung began posting related content after uploading a post with the hashtag "I hate Gongsandang." On the 17th, he shared a screenshot of an article mentioning the possibility of a boycott of Shinsegae affiliates by Chinese people, stating, "I really hate Kong."

On the 18th, he posted again with his photo, saying, "I really hate Kong #Noppakku," and uploaded a photo of a chair with "DUO BACK" written on the backrest, adding, "I should change Duo to no." "Noppakku" is a phonetic spelling of "No Back," meaning he will not back down and will not bend his opinion.
