Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who was an over-the-counter mastery of the opposition, is finally listed in the political world. On the 4th, President Yoon expressed his gratitude, and the opposition parties began to falter. Significant changes in composition are expected in the presidential election.
In the statement of resignation, President Yoon said, “This is all I will do at the prosecution. However, as I have done so far, I will continue to do my best to protect free democracy and protect the people in any position in the future.” He said, “I am now trying to fulfill my last duty imposed by the Constitution to protect our country’s democracy and rule of law.” This is a strong indication of the intention of throwing himself into politics.
In a conversation with the JoongAng Ilbo on the 4th, an attorney from the prosecution who recently had a conversation with Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol said, “President Yoon Seok-yeol believes that all discussions of the Passport Severe Criminal Investigation Office (SMB) happened because of him. The doctor’s expression was expected.” He said, “The hard-liners of passports tried to expel Yun and failed, so they made a heavy water office and decided to eliminate the prosecution altogether.” There is no other way. “I fell in the head of the head,” he explained.

Regardless of whether he is willing or unwilling, President Yoon’s words and steps are already heading for the politics. On the day before, he visited the Daegu High Prosecutors’ Office and said, “I feel like I’m in my hometown.” He has a history of involvement in the detention investigation of former Presidents Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye based in Daegu and Gyeongbuk (TK) regions. So, among the TK figures, there are quite a few people who express resentment to President Yun. So, over the words and actions he showed in Daegu, one opposition official said, “It has considerable political implications for choosing TK as his politically vulnerable area as the last step of his official schedule as the prosecutor general.”
Some say that Yoon’s resignation on the 4th was being conscious of the so-called’law to prohibit the immediate run for judges and prosecutors’ (in order for incumbent prosecutors and judges to run for office, they are obligated to resign one year ago). The next presidential election is on March 9 next year. In principle, the law does not apply retrospectively to actions prior to its enforcement, but if the ruling party, which occupied the overwhelming majority, applies retrospectively, it is said that there may be an unreasonable controversy.
Will the opposition support support in the 4ㆍ7 re-employment?

Politicians’ interest is focused on when Yoon comes to the fore in politics. The closest event is the by-election of Seoul and Busan mayors held on the 7th of next month. It is an observation of the general political circles that the outline of future political actions will be revealed according to the results of this election.
In the opposition, there is a mixed expectation that Yoon’s resignation will lead to the gathering of the forces of Banmun (ban Moon Jae-in), which will have a favorable effect in the by-election. However, a plurality of officials with whom he was acquainted said, “It is unlikely that Yoon will directly jump into the election board in order not to get involved in the passport frame that says’I threw a job for politics.’ It is expected that Yun will actively refute the Korean passport offensive.” Some opposition parties have not ruled out the possibility that Yoon will start a surprise support campaign at the last minute of the re-election. This is because the political power has to show the power to attract votes during the election.
The steps after re-evaluation are also important. One member of the people’s strength said, “From the standpoint of traditional conservative supporters, President Yoon, who led the investigation of redemption, is awkward. For the same reason, President Yoon also analyzed that it would be uncomfortable to be admitted under the power of the people. “After the re-election, President Yoon may hold the key to political reform that encompasses moderate conservatives.” In the opposition, President Yun’s’April’s inauguration rumors’ also goes around.

President Yoon, who is highly regarded as Madangbal, is very close to many political figures. Representative Jeong Jeom-sik, a representative of the human resources theory with a close relationship with President Yoon, is chosen as the National Power Councilman. The two have a relationship that started the initial prosecution at the Daegu District Prosecutors’ Office. Rep. Jeong, who is the 20th judicial training institute, is three seniors than Yoon (23rd). On the other hand, President Yoon is a five-year senior at Seoul National University Law School. In a private statement, it is said that Yoon calls Rep. Jung as’Jung Gong’, and Jung refers to Yoon as’Hyung’.
Rep. Jeong Jin-seok, who is the power of the people, refers to Yoon as a “hometown friend” (Gongju, Chungcheongnam-do). When the news of President Yoon’s resignation was delivered that day, he wrote on his Facebook page, “I and our people’s strength will try to add strength without hesitation to Yoon Suk-yeol, who will judge the tyranny of the Moon regime.”
Ahn Cheol-soo, the representative of the National Assembly Party, also has a relationship. Representative Ahn said on a YouTube broadcast in January, “President Yoon (Suwon District Prosecutor) was demoted to Yeoju branch office and met once in a difficult time to eat,” he said. “Maybe I did, but I felt good feelings for each other.” Yoon is also said to be close to former Minister of SMEs and Startups, Park Young-seon, who was elected as the Democratic Party mayor of Seoul.
