Jin Joong-kwon: "Kim Gun-hee's Texts Are from Han Dong-hoon's Side... Heeryong, Stop Thinking About Scamming"

Won Hee-ryong: "Han Dong-hoon is being blamed for interfering in the party convention"

"Heeryong, stop scheming and just admit that you have committed a grave sin and end it."

Professor Jin Joong-kwon, Special Appointment Professor at Kwangwoon University, targeted former Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Won Hee-ryong, who demanded former Emergency Response Committee Chairman Han Dong-hoon to disclose text messages related to First Lady Kim Keon-hee. On the 7th, Professor Jin wrote on SNS, "Won Hee-ryong says 'Either Han Dong-hoon or Kim Keon-hee is lying' and demands the texts be revealed," expressing this view.

He added, "Is this a comedy? The side that exposes should reveal, is there a case where the exposed side reveals?" and wrote, "Looking at this, it seems Won Hee-ryong himself either has not seen the original texts, does not have the original texts, or even if he has them, only has them in fragments."

He continued, "Anyway, the audacity and courage to consider even First Lady Kim Keon-hee as a candidate liar just to catch Han Dong-hoon leaves a very deep impression," and criticized, "No matter what, how can a person drag the First Lady of a country into the mire just to save themselves? These people have crossed the line by a long shot."

In particular, Professor Jin emphasized the need for a thorough investigation regarding the controversy over First Lady Kim’s texts. He claimed, "This case must be investigated thoroughly," and said, "Where did the story about texts from six months ago come from? There are two possibilities. First, it could have been directly told by First Lady Kim Keon-hee. Second, it could have been heard through that person whom everyone who needs to know knows, without specifying who."

Professor Jin said, "Heeryong, which is it? Stop thinking about petty scams and honestly answer this question. Depending on where the origin of the incident is, my response will inevitably be 180 degrees different," and criticized, "Pathetic people. Is this the time for you to be doing this?"

Meanwhile, on the same day, Won Hee-ryong, a candidate for the People Power Party leadership, claimed regarding the controversy over 'ignoring First Lady Kim Keon-hee’s texts' sent to Han Dong-hoon on the 7th, "Han Dong-hoon is trying to frame the controversy over First Lady Kim Keon-hee’s texts as interference in the party convention."

On that day, Won said through his Facebook, "The only way to resolve misunderstandings and disputes is to disclose all the texts," and added, "Both the sender and the receiver should have the texts, so the receiver can disclose them. Then there will be no distortion."
