When the Blue House confirmed on the 17th that Shin Hyun-soo, chief executive officer of the Blue House, expressed his gratitude several times, not only the passport but also the legal profession was struggling. The decisive reason Shin expressed his appreciation is that Justice Minister Park Beom-gye greeted him as a prosecutor’s chief prosecutor (prosecutor) on the 7th while’passing’ himself. The Blue House also explained that “Minister Park made an announcement with the approval of President Moon Jae-in, without finishing disagreement with Chief Shin.”
A senior Blue House official said on the day, “The views between the prosecution and the Ministry of Justice were different over the prosecution personnel. There were disagreements in the process of reconciling it.” The official said, “Senior Min Jeong seems to have intended to mediate, but in the midst of that progress, (personnel) was announced, and he resigned (is).” “The procedure for Minister Park to carry out his assertion It proceeded according to the will.”
President Moon Jae-in salutes the national flag at the 7th State Council meeting held at the Blue House on the 16th. Shin Hyun-soo, head of the Blue House (far right), also attended the meeting, who recently expressed his gratitude for the prosecution’s greeting.
With this in mind, the passport said that it was “Minister Park’s accident.” Since Shin is the closest aide to President Moon Jae-in and a former prosecutor, it was interpreted as the Blue House’s willingness to re-establish relations with the prosecutors who had deteriorated during the days of former Minister Choguk and Chu Mi-ae on the 31st of last month. In fact, Shin took the role of reconciling disagreements as a mediator when the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution exchange opinions ahead of the prosecutor-level personnel.
In this process, Seoul Central District Prosecutor General Lee Seong-yoon, who requested a replacement by President Yoon, was caught early because of his retirement, but other requirements, such as the replacement of the chief swordsman staff and the return of relegated personnel such as Prosecutor Han Dong-hoon, were still alive cards. However, Minister Park unilaterally confirmed the personnel plan that excluded all such opinions and reported it to President Moon, and as President Moon finally approved it, a controversy about the so-called “Passing of the Min Jeong-suk” arose.
Justice Minister Park Beom-gye is on the morning of the 15th to go to the Ministry of Justice at the Gwacheon Government Complex. Passport officials believe that the background of Mr. Shin’s expression was that Park did not go through a last minute disagreement with Shin Hyun-soo, head of the Blue House, before announcing the prosecution’s personnel on the 7th. yunhap news
A key member of the passport said, “From the perspective of Minister Park, he may have thought that he would fairly exercise the minister’s requesting power regardless of the opinions of Chief Shin and President Yoon. Then, in the position of Shin chief, he would have had to be displeased with’I am but mana’.” Minister Park avoided an immediate answer by saying “later” when he was asked about Shin’s expression while going to work this morning.
It is still doubtful whether President Moon reapproved the personnel plan even though he knew that the disagreements between Shin and Park were not coordinated. If so, it is because it means that he has raised the hand of Minister Park. However, President Moon withheld Shin’s appreciation several times, and Shin is still attending the Blue House for work even after his speech.

In this regard, a senior Blue House official said, “It is not appropriate to disclose the decision-making process at the Blue House.” Regarding the suspicion of manipulating the economic feasibility of the Wolseong nuclear power plant, the prosecution requested a warrant for preliminary arrest with former Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Paik Woon-gyu (last 4 days). Insisted.
The Blue House also raised the suspicion that Park skipped Chief Shin and discussed the personnel plan with the civil administration secretary Lee Kwang-cheol, who tends to be pro-Father, and further raised the suspicion that he received the presidential approval through this secretary, “The internal disagreement inside the Civil Jeong Chief’s Office during this personnel process. There was no”, he actively denied.
Multiple passport officials from the Blue House of the Moon Jae-in administration also said, “That cannot happen.” A former chief said, “The secretary cannot communicate with the secretary. Again, I know there was no problem between Chief Shin and this secretary.” A former secretary said, “President Moon does not allow such a climax in official business proceedings,” and said, “No such thing can happen without a willingness to harden the senior.”
In the legal world, it is also observed that the Democratic Party’s recent push for’Prosecution Reform Season 2′, with the main idea of the complete abolition of the prosecution’s direct investigation right and the establishment of a serious crime investigation office, will not be irrelevant to Chief Shin’s expression.
Unlike Chief Shin, who is close to prudence, the leadership of the ruling party, including Lee Nak-yeon, is working hard on the legislative drive of the first lawmakers such as Kim Nam-guk, Kim Yong-min, and Hwang Unha. Members of the Democratic Party’s prosecutors’ office have also shown difficulties in pushing for the abolition of investigation rights. An official at the prosecution said, “Looking at the entire criminal justice system, the expected side effects are not one or two, but I am very worried about pushing it too quickly without deliberation.”
