[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Jung Yong-jin, Vice Chairman of Shinsegae Group, who sparked controversy with his 'Myeolgong' remarks, once again posted a message reminiscent of Myeolgong on social media (SNS).

On the 2nd, Vice Chairman Jung posted a photo of the sky on his Instagram with the caption, "A perfect day to win baseball. Victory!!" along with the hashtag "ㅁ ㅕ……ㄹ." This post has since received comments saying "Myeolgong."

Earlier this year, Vice Chairman Jung posted an article featuring a photo of Chinese President Xi Jinping with hashtags including Myeolgong. When controversy arose over the post, he clarified that his use of Myeolgong was aimed not at China but at "the kids living above us" (North Korea).

As the Myeolgong controversy spread to the political sphere at that time, Vice Chairman Jung stated, "I will no longer make any remarks related to Myeolgong."
