[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Young-eun] Jin-in (塵人) Jo Eun-san, who posted a petition to the Blue House in the form of an appeal letter, published a satirical piece on the 20th targeting the government and progressive camp that put fairness and justice at the forefront.
In a post titled "Hanyang White Paper" on his blog that day, Jo Eun-san wrote, "Over time, things have frequently changed their forms and essences, and the rulers followed suit by wearing masks, but unchanging values were contained in the eyes of the people, and someone said that those values are justice."
He continued, "Justice, struggling to breathe on this land, took a brief pause, during which the Minister of Justice, who had seized control of the entire court, placed his loyal followers throughout the government offices and deeply engraved 'Fairness and Justice' on the office nameplates, feeling relieved."
Earlier, Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae said at the '2nd Reform Strategy Meeting for the National Intelligence Service, Prosecution, and Police' held at the Blue House last month, "The Ministry of Justice has been dedicated to prosecutorial reform focused on decentralizing the powers concentrated in the prosecution and protecting public convenience and human rights, in accordance with the people's desire for a just and fair Republic of Korea."
Jo Eun-san also referred to the Lease Protection Act as the "Excrement Three Acts." He said, "Human desires, having lost their outlets, turned into lumps of excrement covering the surface, but the ministers proposed the 'Excrement Three Acts' to cover the excrement with soil to offset the stench."
He added, "By autumn, the soaring housing prices in Hanyang eventually set new records," and "The pro-government ministers who secured residences on high ground untouched by the excrement, along with their supporters, made huge capital gains." On the other hand, "The people, forced to abandon their excrement-soaked belongings, swallowed their hard liquor and fell asleep under the influence."
Jo Eun-san criticized the government and ruling party, saying, "The people trapped in the excrement defined justice (正義) as 'something that changes from time to time and belongs only to us,' and those who were covered in excrement and those who avoided it mixed together and shouted."
