On the 22nd, the Ministry of Justice gave a greeting to the prosecutor’s middle officer who retained all major investigative teams, including the 1st Detective Department at Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, and the Wolseong nuclear power plant investigation team, while the Ministry of Justice rebelled against Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office Lee Seong-yoon. On February 7th, following the passing of Seok-yeol Yoon at the level of the prosecutor’s office on February 7th, the greeting rumors of “taking tweezers” circulated again, but the trend changed sharply in the resignation of Shin Hyun-soo, chief executive officer of the Blue House. Accordingly, there are observations that the conflict between Justice Minister Park Beom-gye and Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol will be closed below the water surface for the time being.
Gathered means’no tweezers say hello’
The Ministry of Justice announced personnel on the 26th, including telegram personnel of 16 high prosecutors (intermediate). All major investigative team leaders, including Byun Pil-gun, head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office (Channel A Prosecutors’ Convergence), Sang-hyun Lee, Daejeon District Prosecutor’s Office, 5th Detective Department (Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant), and Lee Jung-seop, head of the Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office (Illegal withdrawal case of Kim Hak’s former vice minister), were all retained.
‘Tweezers greetings’ became a hot topic at the Prosecutors’ Committee held this morning. It is said that about 4 out of 6 personnel members, including external members, oppose’tweezers personnel’ and gathered their will. One member said, “In fact, all the members were in an atmosphere of opposition to the tweezers personnel.” Following the completion of the personnel committee, the Ministry of Justice also announced the principle of “minimizing telegram personnel to the level of filling vacancies”.

Nam-gwan Cho, deputy prosecutor of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, who is the’second person of the prosecution’, attended the Prosecutors’ Committee on this day and said, “Investigation teams in important cases, and filling vacancy caused by resignation and maintaining the current status of the chief prosecutors’ offices, and not giving arbitrary tweezers greetings. He made an unusual public remark, saying, “The state strongly requested.”
It is said that the Ministry of Justice initially picked up chief Prosecutor Byun Pil-gun, who confronted Prosecutor Han Dong-hoon in the investigation of the “Channel A case,” and replaced them with “tweezers personnel,” and prepared a draft for the executives who led the discipline of President Yoon to go to important positions. In response, General Yoon said, “Does it make sense to change the middle officials who have led important investigations or tasks after prosecutor-level personnel have said that they are promoting business continuity?”
Eventually,’Shin Hyun-soo’s appreciation’ broke up.
Inside and outside the prosecutors’ analysis that the Ministry of Justice’s’tweezers retaliatory greetings’ proposal was hit by Chief Shin’s gratitude. It is interpreted that there would have been active coordination between Chief Shin and Minister Park, who went on vacation after their resignation. From the standpoint of Minister Park, it would have been difficult to ignore the prosecution’s opinion anymore, as various criticisms were poured out as reports that there was a request for prosecutors to ask the president to take responsibility for the president’s’passing’, which is the person in charge of personnel, after the announcement of the prosecutor’s office.

On the same day, when asked by the National Assembly Legislative Judiciary Committee, “did you communicate with the chief executive officer?” “I met and called several times. In my judgment, I think I communicated enough.” However, to the opposition lawmaker’s question, “Did you meet in person or contacted for consultation while Shin expressed his appreciation,” he said, “I can’t tell you about specific (communication) channels.”
Shin also said that he would take over from President Moon and returned to work once, but the fire of excommunication remains. Shin was appointed after President Moon promoted the disciplinary action of Yun, led by former Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae, and after the court’s decision was defeated, he apologized to the public. It was a remedy for the conflict between the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution, which had reached the limit. Regarding this, a legal official pointed out that “there are minefields, such as the investigation of illegal withdrawal of the Wolseong nuclear power plant and Kim Hak, the promotion of the serious crime investigation office of the passport, and the notice of personnel by the wide prosecution in July.”
