Jeong Han-joong, a professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Law School, who served as the disciplinary committee chairman of the Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, expressed a negative opinion, saying, “I agree that there is no control system for the head of public prosecution.” Professor Jeong said, “We need to make an impeachment procedure law including the Minister of Public Service.” These are the remarks made by appearing on JTBC’s ‘2021 New Year Special Debate’ on the afternoon of the 4th.
As the chairman of the Prosecutor’s Disciplinary Committee of the Ministry of Justice, Professor Jeong decided on a “two months of honesty” disciplinary action against Yun, saying that it was “a decision based on evidence” last December. However, as the court admitted that the procedure was flawed and suspended the effect of the suspension, it was struck by a headwind of’Ejecting Yoon Seok-yeol’. He, who appears to have participated in the JTBC New Year’s special debate on the side of the government and the ruling party, also expressed concern to the airlift without a check.
Professor Jeong said in the discussion that day, “How wrong is it to the judges? (Airborne) Existence itself is a terrifying effect”, calling for controversy. Another panel, former Democratic Party lawmaker Geum Tae-seop, refuted that “the idea of scaring the judge itself is very wrong,” saying, “What scares the judge is harming the independence of the judiciary.” Professor Jeong expressed discomfort in the court’s decision to suspend the execution of the discipline of President Yoon, saying, “It was mixed like bibimbap.”
Geum Jeon diagnosed that the current government and ruling party’s’prosecution reform’ had lost trust. Representatively, the Moon Jae-in regime opened an unprecedented’special department era’. It is pointed out that the special department manpower has been doubled for the investigation of so-called’accumulation liquidation’.
Rep. Geum said, “When President Yoon and the Blue House were good, the prosecution’s right to investigate was strengthened.” “At the time of the Moon Jae-in regime, the special department was the strongest special department. He criticized the changed attitudes of the government and ruling party, saying, “Now that the special department and the prosecution, which had grown unprecedentedly, are investigating the nuclear power plant or the country, they are now crying for the separation of the right to investigate and the right to prosecute.”
Geum Jeon also pointed out the problem of lack of control over the head of the airlift. He said, “The chief of the airlift is not checked. If the head of the airlift is politically ambitious and tries to move independently, is there any way to stop it?” He said, “If the power of the prosecution in South Korea is unprecedentedly strong, we should remove the power of the prosecution, why should we set up a more powerful airlift?”
Rep. Geum Jeon said, “Even the most powerful prosecutors of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office in Korea do not work for more than two years. “There is a contradiction in which control is impossible even if power is abused because there is no need for promotion.” Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Yong-min confronted it with the logic that “the prosecution can investigate the air defense department.”
Former professor Jin Jung-kwon of Tong Yang University also said, “Institutions should not be made based on human goodwill. “We must assume the worst person and take into account the side effects that will appear,” he said. “The Democratic Party used to demonize prosecutors Yoon Seok-yeol and Han Dong-hoon.
Regarding the impeachment of President Yoon, Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Yong-min said, “There is still a situation in which impeachment talks are still coming out within the party.” “There is a position that impeachment is not yet impossible. There is also a position that impeachment is possible enough because the fault of President Yoon was confirmed by the court. In the party, there are more positions that impeachment is early.” Professor Jeong also drew a line for the impeachment of President Yoon, saying, “It is inappropriate”.
Rep. Kim said, “It is not a reform for President Yoon Seok-yeol’s individual. It turned out that Yun was trying to prevent corruption in his close vicinity, but how can the government not hold accountability?”
Rep. Kim said about the conflict between Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae and President Yun that continued this year, saying, “It is wrong for the media to see it as a’Chuu-yoon conflict’. . “The prosecutor general is commanded and supervised as a subordinate to the Minister of Justice.”
Rep. Kim said, “Korea is a democratic republic and power comes from the people. The power entrusted by the people governs the country,” he criticized Yun. At a state affairs audit in October last year, General Yoon criticized Chu’s initiation of command of investigation by saying, “The Prosecutor General is not a subordinate of the Attorney General.”

It was’Public Prosecution’. At the JTBC debate, anchor Sohn Seok-hee said in the remarks of Professor Jeong at the JTBC debate due to the similarity between the airlift and the public prosecution agency, “Prof. It is believed that there was confusion, such as saying, “It is not necessary to have the same opinion just because you are sitting next to you.” On this day, Professor Jeong said, “I agree that there is no control device for the head of the airlift,” and said that a supplementary legislation is needed for the airlift.
