Justice Minister Park Beom-gye said on the 22nd, regarding the issue of coordination of prosecutors’ personnel with the Blue House, which was recently controversial, “I can’t tell you about the process of personnel. I will replace it with the presentation of the Blue House.” He was present at the National Assembly Legislative Judicial Committee. During the prosecution’s announcement process, questions related to the suspicion of President Moon Jae-in’passing’ and the conflict with Shin Hyun-soo, chief executive officer of the Blue House, were poured out, but he avoided specific answers. Then, the opposition party pointed out that it was “arrogant” and “Minister Chu Mi-ae Version 2”.

National Assembly Judiciary Committee’s Ministry of Justice business report
When asked, “Has the president been approved?” “The Blue House has already announced”
On that day, inquiries about the’procedure’ of prosecutors were poured out in business reports such as the Ministry of Justice held at the National Assembly Judiciary Committee. This is because of the suspicion that the prosecution personnel were announced before President Moon’s residence. Opposition party lawmakers asked,’Was the prosecutor’s office’s greetings announced after being approved by the president?’ and’Who reported the greetings to the president and when?’
Minister Park consistently answered, “We cannot explain specific personnel details.” “The Blue House has already announced” he repeated.
Regarding this, Rep. Kim Do-eup said, “The suspicion of passing by the President of the People’s Republic of Korea and the President of the Republic of Korea is of public interest, but the Minister of Justice has consistently said that it is impossible to speak.” Rep. Yoo Sang-beom of the same party also said, “Is it correct to answer the question about the controversy with the announcement of the Blue House?” “Chu Mi-ae, former minister, is’version 2′. Close your mouth for uncomfortable questions.”
On the other hand, Democratic Party lawmaker Paik Hye-ryeon advocated, “There is no problem with the answer that the minister replaced it with the announcement of the Blue House.” Rep. Paik said, “It is not true that Chung Man-ho, chief of public communication at the Blue House, announced it without the president’s assault.” He added that “Shin’s request for supervision (to Minister Park) was never spoken by Chief Shin.”

“I thought I had enough communication with Hyunsoo Shin”
Opposition lawmakers also asked whether to communicate with Shin chief about the prosecution’s personnel. This is because Chief Shin expressed his gratitude in conflict with Minister Park. Chief Shin withdrew his gratitude on this day.
Rep. Jeon Ju-hye of the People’s Strength asked, “Did you have enough coordination with Chief Shin (in the prosecution process)?” Minister Park replied, “I met several times and made a phone call.” Regarding the personnel of the middle prosecutor’s office on this day, he said, “I think that communication has been sufficiently communicated.
However, to the question of whether he had contacted Chief Shin last weekend, he avoided an immediate answer, saying, “It is difficult to confirm” and “I cannot tell you a specific channel.”
“It is a concern if communication is not possible with the Ministry of Justice and the Civil Affairs Office. (Minister Park and Chief Shin) personally know that they have been close together for more than 10 years and hope that communication will be good,” said Kim Nam-guk, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, who said, “We have a personal relationship, but we have a personality to talk about in connection with personnel. I don’t think it’s possible.”
“I am a legal assistant who assists the president. It’s nothing more or less,” he added, adding, “I came to this greeting at that level and will continue to do so in the future.”

“There is media play related to personnel”
Minister Park also expressed dissatisfaction with media reports related to prosecution personnel. He said, “I think there was a media play in relation to the investigation issue or the prosecution personnel.” Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Yong-min agreed with the argument that “the opposition party and the prosecutors’ media appear to be joining together” regarding the recent reports of controversy over prosecution personnel.
Minister Park said, “There is no concept in my mind that it violates the president’s personnel rights.” “As such a part (such as press play) has a significant impact on the administration of the President’s administration and creates various distorted flows, measures are necessary. I reduce the idea of doing it.”
