Jung Yong-jin, vice chairman of Shinsegae Group, a major South Korean distribution company, has repeatedly posted on Instagram denouncing communism, causing a stir in South Korean society.

This has once again highlighted the divisions in South Korean society, where conservatives and reformers are sharply opposed to each other.
