Professor Jin Jung-kwon warns of Lee Jae-myung's ”I won't die” declaration (South Korea)

In response to Lee Jae-myung, the leader of South Korea's largest opposition party, the Democratic Party of Korea, who received a suspended prison sentence for allegedly violating the Public Offices Election Act, declaring that "Lee Jae-myung will never die,"
Professor Jin Jung-Gwon of Kwangwoon University harshly criticized the move, saying that the people around the area would be harmed.
At the "3rd National Action Day" rally to denounce Yoon Seok-yeol's privatization of national politics and demand a special investigation, Yoon Seok-yeol was sentenced to one year in prison and two years of probation on suspicion of violating the Public Offices Election Act.
"Lee Jae Myung will never die," he said. "The people are the masters of Korea, a democratic republic, and all power in this country should be used only for the people, but the people of this country should not be allowed to use their powers for anything other than the people's benefit."
It seems that the masters are not the people," he said, raising his voice in criticism of the current administration, saying, "It seems that the masters of this country have changed to Yoon Seok-youl, Kim Kuon-hee, and Myung Tae-gyun."
In response to this, Professor Chen made a stern statement on his social media on the 17th, saying, "It is the people around him who will die."
"One of the pieces of evidence was a video clip left by the late Kim Moon-gi, who had to take his own life," he said. "The eldest son of the late Kim Moon-gi, who appeared in court as a witness, testified that his father was the victim of that crime.
"How astonishing that someone who should have lost their life because of this crime could get away with claiming that they didn't even remember their own father."
He added, "Even if Lee Jae-myung shouts that he won't die, this ruling has effectively ended his political career. Kant's 'People are not the means to an end.'
"We should keep in mind the words, 'Treat it as an objective, not a means to an end.'"
