Former Justice Minister Cho Kook, who criticizes former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol one after another, claimed that Yoon viewed President Moon Jae-in as a’potential suspect’. Cho’s opinion is that the reason why he stepped down from the prosecutor general and is referred to as the next president in power is that he viewed the Moon Jae-in administration as’power to die soon’.
On the 9th, former Minister Cho referred to former President Yoon on his Facebook page and wrote that “President Seok-yeol Yoon’s self-awareness was not just a’high-ranking official of the Moon Jae-in government’.” During the Park Geun-hye administration, it became a symbol of prosecutors who were persecuted, and after the second half of 2019, after conducting an investigation that hit the Moon Jae-in administration, it emerged as the leading candidate for the opposition. Former Minister Cho argued, “I gained a public reputation against the Park Geun-hye administration and became the prosecutor general of the Moon Jae-in administration, and then he defeated the Moon Jae-in administration and became a great candidate for opposition.”
Former Minister Cho said the move of former President Yun was similar to that of former Attorney General Sergio Moru of Brazil. Former Minister Moru imprisoned two former presidents through corruption investigations during his days as an’investigation judge’. When Zaire Bolsonaru came into power, he was appointed as the Minister of Justice, but he resigned and emerged as a leader in power.

Former Minister Cho said, “He sent two presidents to jail, and at some point he began to recognize President Moon Jae-in as a’potential suspect’.” “Isn’t it reasonable to believe that the Moon Jae-in government was pressed into the government through a high-intensity target investigation,” he asked.
Regarding the press that conveys the approval ratings and actions of former President Yoon, the next president of the presidential power, Cho said, “I am singing’Yoonbieocheonga’ rather than thorough verification.” He added that the former president of Yun was “there is no choice but to be verified by candlelight citizens.”
