[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Sung-yeol] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized writer Gong Ji-young on the 7th, saying, "Save some time from tweeting and read some newspapers. Don't newspapers even get delivered to Muncheonji Hall? Read some newspapers and now try to break free."

On the same day, Jin posted on his Facebook, "Escaping from hardcore Moon Jae-in supporters is by intelligence and first-come, first-served. Gong Ji-young, novelists are neither Cervantes nor Don Quixote," he said.

Regarding Gong's comment, "What are the charges against Professor Jeong Gyeong-sim?" he said, "What are Jeong Gyeong-sim's 'charges'? Good question. If you don't know, ask like that. Do you think the Korean prosecution would arrest someone just because they are 'dreaming'? Her 'charges' are as follows," he said.

He then listed the charges against Professor Jeong as "obstruction of business, obstruction of official duties by deception, use of false official documents, use of forged private documents, violation of the Subsidy Management Act, embezzlement in the course of duties, false reporting under the Capital Markets Act, use of undisclosed information under the Capital Markets Act, violation of the Act on the Regulation of Concealment of Crime Proceeds, instigation of evidence forgery, instigation of evidence concealment."

Earlier, on the 6th, writer Gong Ji-young posted an article related to Professor Jeong's trial on her Facebook, saying, "What are the charges against Professor Jeong Gyeong-sim? So far, the prosecution's evidence includes internet articles, the defendant's dreams, goals, hints, phone call patterns, and the position as Professor Cho Kuk's spouse."

She also criticized the prosecution, saying, "They have shaken the country for more than half a year and claim it is a crime more serious than drugs or gang rape, refusing even bail on medical grounds."
