“유해진은 북한상” 주진우…진중권 “참 저질, 유치해 못 봐주겠다”

Original Korean Read in English

North Korean analyst Professor Ji-un Kim has criticized Korean National Power Party lawmaker Jung Jin-young for making disparaging comments about actor U-hee Jang related to his appearance in the film "The Assassins." Professor Ji-un Kim described Jung Jin-young's remarks as "lowly elitism and trash talk" in a Facebook post on March 3.

The professor urged viewers to reflect on themselves and not resort to mob mentality when criticizing films. He also called for an end to attacks on actors and filmmakers. Jung Jin-young responded by calling Professor Ji-un Kim's opinion "absurd" and accusing him of being a co-conspirator in spreading false information. The controversy also sparked criticism from other politicians, with Democratic Party lawmaker Min-hui Ko condemning Jung Jin-young's "ridiculous and uncivilized behavior" in a parliamentary meeting.
