Shin Hyun-soo, who was appointed by President Moon Jae-in on the 31st, is a former prosecutor. It is the first time that President Moon entered the 5th year of power and appointed a former prosecutor to the head of civil administration. There is growing interest in whether he will restore the’stable cooperation between the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution’ with the candidate of Justice Minister Park Bum-gye, who was put into a relief pitcher at the Blue House, who suffered a fatal injury after a bloody battle between Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae and Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol. Since 2004, when he worked as an appraisal secretary at the Blue House, Shin has been a key legal professional who has worked with Moon Jae-in, then chief Min Jeong. During the 2012 presidential election, Shin served as a legal mentor at Moon Jae-in’s camp, and during the 2017 presidential election, he served as the head of the legal support team as the legal chairman, contributing to the election of President Moon. After the inauguration of the Moon Jae-in administration, he was appointed as the head of the Planning and Coordination Office of the National Intelligence Service to lead the reform of the NIS. After resigning from the chief of the National Intelligence Service in August 2018, he returned to his staff again after two years to assist President Moon. It is also the result of the diagnosis that the civil jeong chief’s office did not function properly in the phase of the’Chumi-ae-Yun Seok-yeol’ conflict. In response to the Chu-Yoon conflict over the past year, the Chief Executive Officer of Minjeong was virtually putting their hands on hands, saying that it was a’pain for the reform of the prosecution. It has been reported that the Chief Civil Service Office has failed to judge the situation, including reporting that the request for suspension of execution, which President Yoon made against the suspension of his duties, will be dismissed in the court. Unlike in the past, when President Moon had to take full responsibility for failure after delegating full power to Minister Chu, Shin, who knows the prosecution well, will actively take the role of mediation by preventing conflicts in the prosecution reform process. Seems to be. A passport official who knows the Blue House situation well said, “In fact, the chief successor of Kim Jo-won, who resigned in August, was Chief Shin. I know that I have accepted it.” The relationship between Candidate Beom-gye Park and President Yoon is also of interest, as the confusion of the legal affairs and prosecutors over the past year stems from the Chu-Yoon conflict. Last October, at the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office’s state affairs audit, the two preached, saying, “Suk-yeol Yoon’s justice is an optional definition” (Park)-“did you not like me in the past?” (Yoon).The prosecution’s internal and external explanation is that the relationship between the two was not bad. When Yoon was demoted to the NIS presidential intervention investigation in November 2013, candidate Park referred to him as “Suk-yeol Yoon” on Facebook and publicly comforted them. The two motives of the Judicial Research and Training Institute have been intimate for a long time through motivational meetings. . An official at the prosecution said, “I had a war at the Supreme Swordsman’s Office, but I know that the relationship between the two is still good.” Candidate Park’s request to the prosecutors’ office to set up an office for personnel hearing preparations at the Seoul High Prosecutors’ Office is also accepted as a gesture of appeasement to restore relations with the prosecution. It is the first time in the Moon Jae-in administration that the office of the Preparatory Group for hearing candidates for the Minister of Justice has been established at the Seoul High Prosecutors’ Office. Candidate Park gave a meeting with the hearing preparation group on the 31st and said, “There is public sentiment in Yeouido and legal court in Seocho-dong. “We have set up an office at the prosecutors’ office in order to respond to public opinion, but also to listen to the legal court.” An executive at the prosecution said, “For the institutional completion and settlement of the prosecution reform, I believe that the former prosecutor’s office will demonstrate the advantage of communicating and empathizing with the field.” I expect there will be no quarrels.” By Kim Tae-gyu and Lee Wan, staff reporter [email protected]
