With the resignation of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, the establishment of a new relationship with the Blue House and’Prosecutor without President Yoon’ has emerged as a major task in the second half of President Moon Jae-in’s term of office. This is because, through the establishment of the “Severe Crime Investigation Office (SMB),” the prosecution’s separation of investigation and prosecution rights must be pursued without a hitch, but without force, and calm the prosecution so that he can focus on issues of public welfare such as quarantine and economic recovery. Depending on what kind of person the next prosecutor general will be seated right now, it is likely to determine whether the’tense relationship’ between the Blue House and the prosecutors will unfold or will create a’reconciliation mood’.
President Moon accepted President Yoon’s appreciation at 3:15 pm on the 4th, and approved the dismissal of President Yoon at around 11:20 am the previous day (5th). In less than a day after President Yoon expressed his gratitude through the media at 2 pm on the 4th, the resignation was officially accepted and administrative procedures were completed. President Moon’s decision to make such a “quick fight” implied the will to focus on people’s livelihood without dragging the prosecution, the Blue House, and the passport confrontation for a long time.
In fact, it is known that President Moon’s announcement of the succession of Shin Hyun-soo, chief executive officer of the Blue House, which was originally scheduled for the 5th, was advanced to the 4th when Yoon expressed his appreciation. After being excluded from the Minister of Justice Park Bum-gye as a senior prosecutor’s officer, Shin expressed his appreciation and gave his move to President Moon. In the midst of this, President Moon finally replaced Chief Shin, indicating that he would end all controversies raised during the prosecution reform process.

However, there are some mountains that must be overcome in order for President Moon’s wishes to come true. First, it is a discussion on the establishment of the Heavy Water Administration, which became the’catalyst’ of the decision to resign from President Yoon. Organizational backlash within the prosecution may occur if the speed of the passport’s promotion of the heavy water office is accelerated. Currently, despite President Yoon’s resignation for resignation, the driving force behind the heavy water agency in the passport has not lost its strength. In addition, Rep. Park Joo-min, secretary of the Democratic Party’s Prosecutors’ Reform Special Committee, announced on the 5th that he would deal with the new bill for the Small and Medium Business Administration within the first half of this year. Rep. Park appeared on the MBC radio’Kim Jong-bae’s attention’ on the day and nailed “there is no artificial speed control or anything like that” in relation to the’heavy water office speed control theory’. Rep. Park said, “We are actively working on collecting and coordinating various opinions.”
However, there is also a prudent opinion that the installation of the heavy water office should not be in a hurry. An official from an appraisal agency said, “It is impatient to discuss the separation of the prosecution’s right to investigate and prosecute the prosecution in the absence of adjustment of the power of prosecution investigation,” he said. Concerns are also raised that the middle and conservatives may put their own goal to gather in advance of the 4/7 re-election by prematurely pushing for the establishment of the heavy water office.
As if taking this into account, Justice Minister Park Beom-gye suggested that the Heavy Water Administration would regulate the speed. Minister Park said on the 5th, “I know that the bills related to the Heavy Water Administration have not yet been made with a fixed deadline, and it is very important to gain public sympathy from the Democratic Party Prosecutors’ Special Committee on Reform.” At the same time, he said, “Because I also offered to listen to the opinions of prosecutors’ members, I think that our prosecutors may not have to worry too much.”

Inseon-do, the next prosecutor general, is the’inflection point’ that redefines the relationship between the prosecution and the Blue House. Following the recommendation of the Prosecutor General’s Candidate Recommendation Committee, the Prosecutor General is compressed into three or more candidates, and at the request of the Minister of Justice, the President nominates one final candidate and then appoints by the President through a personnel hearing. Through this process, if a pro-government official sits in the place of President Yoon’s successor, the president is read with the intention of taking control of the prosecution organization, and ‘Gamran’ could be raised.
Among the candidates for the next president-elect are Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office Lee Seong-yoon, pro-government-oriented Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, Han Dong-soo, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, and Kim Oh-soo, former Vice Minister of Justice. As a neutral character, he was once evaluated as’Chumiae Line’, but Deputy Prosecutor Cho Nam-gwan, who opposed the discipline of President Yoon in the’Chuuyun Conflict’ last year, is mentioned. Deputy Prosecutor Cho is currently acting on behalf of President Yoon’s departure. Political critic Park Sang-byeong said, “Even within the prosecution, it is necessary to provide a plan for reprimanding personnel to select people with strong trust. It is important not to reform the prosecution, but to stabilize the prosecution.”
In-seon, the successor president, is also a matter that is directly connected to the investigation for the Moon Jae-in regime. Depending on which person is selected as the next president, the speed of the prosecution’s investigation into the government’s suspicion of manipulating the economic feasibility evaluation of Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1, and the Cheong Wa Dae’s involvement in the Ulsan Mayor’s election will be determined. It boils down to the problem of’.

In fact, there are concerns within the prosecution that the investigation of power-type corruption allegations has lost power since the resignation of President Yoon. On the 5th, prosecutor Park Nosan, Daegu District Prosecutor’s Office, posted a satirical text on the prosecution’s internal network saying, “I’ll do what I tell you, so please save me.” Prosecutor Park said, “If the investigation of the Wolseong nuclear power plant case, the Lime·Optimus case, and Kim Hak’s illegal withdrawal case is completely suspended, and the prosecution is withdrawn in the case of former Minister Cho Kook and his family currently being tried, the Mayor of Ulsan, etc. “Is it right?” he said, “Now, the prosecution will not dare to look at the records in the case of the Blue House, the National Assembly, and the names of high-ranking grandfathers going up and down.”
For this reason, it is reported that the Ministry of Justice will begin forming a nomination committee to recommend candidates for the prosecutor general early next week, with interest in the appointment of the next prosecutor-general. The Prosecutor General’s Candidate Recommendation Committee consists of a total of 9 members, including 5 ex officio members and 4 non-executive members.
In addition, at the Blue House on the 8th, President Moon receives a report on reform of power institutions from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Public Administration and Security. It is predicted that plans to reorganize the prosecutor’s office, including the next prosecutor general In Seon, will be discussed in the report of the Ministry of Justice on the same day immediately after Yoon’s resignation.
