Justice Minister Park Beom-gye clarified on the 8th that “when I met the president in person, I spoke clearly with respect to the announcement of a surprise attack on personnel at the level of the prosecutor the day before “passing Yoon Seok-yeol.” The prosecution objected to this, saying, “It was a direct investigation of not delivering specific personnel plans to the prosecutor general.” It was the second round of battle over the controversy over the passing of President Yoon.
Prosecutors are concerned that Park will sooner or later repeat’Yun Seok-yeol’s passing’ in the same way in follow-up personnel at the high prosecutor’s level (deputy general prosecutor level).
朴 “It’s not passing… even if it’s a bit inadequate, please understand.”
On the 8th, Minister Park responded to the question of reporters asking their position on the controversy over the personnel controversy of’Yun Seok-yeol passing’ on the way to the Ministry of Justice, “The president may think that it is a bit insufficient, but I want to ask you to understand.”The prosecutor’s office was replaced, and the new prosecutor’s office appointed a person who served as the chief of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office’s planning and coordination department, the chief secretary of the president.“He said.
It means that it has accepted the hard demands of the prosecutor’s office, Shim Jae-cheol, who took the lead in the discipline of General Yoon.

In summary, JoongAng Ilbo coverage In a face-to-face discussion with President Yoon on the 5th, Minister Park verbally explained three directions: ▶ Lee Seong-yoon retained the central district prosecutor’s office ▶ Shim Jae-cheol replaced the prosecutor’s office. ▶ Lee Doo-bong stayed with Daejeon District Prosecutor’s Office.I say.
An official at the prosecution said, “The Minister Park did not inform General Yoon that the personnel were 4 people, nor did he tell him that he would send Director Shim Jae-cheol to the Southern District Prosecutor’s Office.” Pointed out.
Article 34, Paragraph 1 of the Prosecutors’ Office Act stipulates that’the Minister of Justice requests the position of a prosecutor after hearing the opinion of the Prosecutor General’. This regulation was made in January 2004 at the time of Moon Jae-in, chief executive officer of the participatory government. Since then, the Minister of Justice has had practical personnel discussions with the president over specific personnel plans, but former Minister Choo Mi-ae has privately made this provision.
Attorney Kim Jong-min, former director of the Suncheon branch, said, “It is not stated in the law that the personnel plan should be presented in writing, but the Minister of Justice and the Prosecutor General have discussed each person on a case-by-case basis.” “It wasn’t actually an agreement,” he said.

There are also voices of criticism that Minister Park said on the day that “Prosecutor Lee Seong-yoon remained in office because he had to continue investigating the current issue.” One prosecution officer said, “There is no precedent for the central district prosecutor’s office for more than a year, and what are the issues with the central district prosecutor’s office?” Or they just have to crush them.”
Another prosecution official predicted, “We will continue to try to analyze the mobile phone forensic analysis of the prosecutor Han Dong-hoon, with personnel who comply with the orders of the prosecutor.”
“The second half of the year since the retirement of President Yoon in July,”
There are many observations that even before and after the Lunar New Year, deputy general managers and inspector-level personnel will be made slightly. This is because Minister Park announced that he will say hello in the second half of July after the term of President Yoon’s term expires.
However, at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, 1st Deputy Prosecutor Kim Wook-jun, who resigned, and Han Dong-hoon, the conclusion of’no charge,’ the replacement of the 1st Detective Chief Byun Pil-gun, who set a confrontation with the District Prosecutor’s Office, is discussed.
