It can be a time to make a decision about how to live.

In a meeting with employees, he also said a meaningful word, “The’people’s prosecution’ means protecting the people, who are relatively weak, by punishing those who are powerful without noticing the person in charge.” In a recent interview, President Yoon described the promotion of the installation of a heavy water office for the passport as “elimination of the rule of law, regression of democracy,” and “If I walk directly to prevent this, I will bet even 100 times.”

The Supreme Prosecutor’s Office officially stated that there was no change in the scheduled schedule of Yun, saying, “We have nothing to confirm with regard to the speculation.” President Yoon is scheduled to meet with Chairman Lee Jong-yup of the Korean Byeonhyup at 4 PM on the same day at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office.
