A handwritten poster was posted on the bulletin board in front of the Seoul National University library ahead of the start of the semester.
The author of the 22nd class of the Seoul National University College of Human Ecology criticized ″The son of Lawyer Jeong deserves to be on the list of embarrassing college alumni.
In the online community of Seoul National University students, there were also posts targeting the rich lawyer Jung.

″Using the position of my parents, I started on a different line than others, so I feel like I didn’t come with the same effort… ″
It seems that the explosive power among the youth has grown as a strong critical mind regarding ‘school violence’, which leaves indelible scars on the victims, combined with the ‘fairness’ issue.
It was also pointed out that the selection itself as the head of the National Investigation Headquarters Jeong Soon-shin would have been a serious secondary harm to the victim.

″Because I think that the fact that (the father of the perpetrator) is mentioned as a high-ranking official can harm the victim enough… ″
There are quite a few voices calling for system reform, saying that it is a problem that the son of lawyer Jeong was able to get accepted into Seoul National University even following being forced to transfer.
In the midst of this, a civic group accused lawyer Jeong Sun-shin and National Police Agency Commissioner Yoon Hee-geun, respectively, of creating false public documents and abuse of authority.
