In 2020, the three subsidiaries and passports issued all three cards for transition to government after hard work. In the new year, when the Moon Jae-in administration is in its last term, many people are looking at it with anxiety and anticipation as to whether it will be able to complete the reform task more calmly and soundly and overcome the Corona 19 crisis.
[인적 쇄신] Roh Young-min and others stepped down and Park Beom-gye “With stable cooperation between the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution
On the 30th, the Blue House was busy. President Moon Jae-in nominated Kim Jin-wook, a senior researcher at the Constitutional Court, as the first candidate for the head of the high-ranking public officials criminal investigation office. Then, after accepting the resignation of Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae, a Democratic Party member with Park Bum-gye was appointed as a successor. Noh Young-min, head of policy office Kim Sang-jo, and chief executive of Kim Jong-ho, Min Jung-ho, announced their intention to withdraw.
The ‘Park Beom-gye Card’ is also a signal to clear up the conflict between Chu Mi-ae and Yoon Seok-yeol that has been around for about a year. Candidate Park is the motive of President Yoon Suk-yeol’s Judicial Research and Training Institute. Although the two collided during the state affairs audit of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office in October, there is a high possibility of avoiding a situation close to an all-out war, such as the ‘Chu Yun Conflict.’
After being nominated by Park himself, he said to the reporters, “President Moon told me that the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution should have a stable cooperative relationship, and through that, the prosecution reform should be achieved.” It was a transition from trying to control the prosecution with the administrative authority of the Minister of Justice.
Candidate Park also said, “A lot of prosecution reforms have already been made,” he said. “The rest of the need is to listen to the voices of the people and collect sufficient opinions.” When Candidate Park talked about’listening’ and’collecting opinions’ right after the proposal, at least the intention to escape from the’Chumi-ae’ method was reflected.
If staff such as Secretary No. Young-min Roh and Chief Min Jeong-ho Kim Jong-ho who expressed their appreciation are replaced, both the’face’ and’brain’ of the Moon Jae-in government’s prosecution reform will be renewed.

Kim Jin-wook, a senior researcher at the Constitutional Court, who was nominated as the first candidate for the Minister of Public Affairs, served as a judge.After opening in 1998, he worked as an investigator in the Special Prosecutors’ Team for alleged strike induction of the Mint Corporation, and has worked in the Constitutional Court since 2010. He was on the list of candidates for the Minister of Public Affairs on the recommendation of the Korean Bar Association and was awarded the president’s rejection.
As a result, the launch of the airlift was approaching just one year after the airlift law passed. In a commentary, a spokesman for the Democratic Party of Shin Young-dae said, “The institutionalization of the reform of power institutions, which has been waiting for more than 20 years, has begun,” and “We will thoroughly prepare for the launch of the airlift, including the personnel hearings,” The Participatory Solidarity, which has long insisted on the establishment of airlift, evaluated that “the fact that the prosecution has the possibility of sharing the prosecution’s monopolistic right of prosecution and the possibility of receiving an investigation and prosecution from the outside has great historical significance.”
[검사는 칼잡이가 아니다] “Change to professional prosecution agency”
The Democratic Party is operating the Special Committee on Prosecution Reform in earnest. Special Commissioner Yun Ho-joong met reporters on this day with secretary Park Joo-min and spokeswoman Ogi-hyung and said, “The prosecution remained an inviolable and inviolable sanctuary.” “I have no choice but to start.”
The special commission tries not to make the prosecution a’knifeman’ anymore. Chairman Yoon Ho-joong said, “The reason why the prosecution is an excessive authority is because (they) have both the power of investigation and prosecution,” he said. “Our basic direction is to make the prosecution a professional prosecution agency.” However, the establishment of the’Public Prosecution Office’, which the same party Rep. Kim Yong-min issued a bill separately, is still before discussion, and for now, the internal reorganization is divided into investigation/prosecution prosecutors in the six areas (corruption, economy, election, etc.) directly investigated by the prosecution. He said he would find a way.
Chairman Yoon added, “We will complete the roadmap in the future and make it legal as soon as possible,” he added. “(Next year), we will submit a bill within February, and in the first half of the year, the bill can be deliberated and resolved by the National Assembly.” The special committee also revised the Prosecutors’ Office Act by the Roh Moo-hyun administration, but plans to improve the principle of the prosecutor’s office that is still alive and the position of the prosecutor. Like a judge, the prosecutor also considers how to select after a certain period of attorney activity.
“Now focus on institutional reform,” but…

One Democratic Party member <오마이뉴스>“It’s not a good situation (for the party) in general, but the burden that the’Chu-Yoon conflict’ has emerged like a game (by greetings on the 30th) has been relieved.” “Now we have to focus on reforming the system.” Said. However, he predicted that the reform of the system would have a positive effect on the government in the future, saying, “You can do it without making it loud.” The presidential New Year’s press conference and the Blue House reorganization could also be good variables.
Others are concerned about the situation where passports are repeatedly crying out for prosecution reform. Rep. Han Jung-jin said, “The Moon Jae-in government’s term of office remains for one year,” he said. “The prosecution needs to be reformed, but is it not necessary to check whether the public welfare and job issues and the Korean version of the New Deal are properly being carried out.” He also said, “(Regarding the disciplinary action of President Yoon Seok-yeol), it gives the public an impression of retaliation for the second prosecution reform after a court decision is made.”
Supreme Commissioner Yang Hyang-ja warned of hardline factions claiming’impeachment of Yoon Seok-yeol’ at the Supreme Council’s meeting on the 30th. He said, “If it is an issue that requires public consent, such as impeachment, we must be more careful, and now we must focus on the urgent task of corona,” he said. “It is difficult to accept it as a loyal adage.” In addition, he added, “The reform of the prosecution must be completed with laws and institutions by persuading the people step by step,” he added. “It is difficult for any reform to succeed without the public support.”
