When President Moon Jae-in and Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol confronted, the court raised the hand of President Yoon, and the opposition party stepped up the offensive against President Moon.
Worrying about “Sukyeol Yoon’s victory is not our victory”
On the night of the 24th, when the court cited the request for suspension of enforcement for the disciplinary action of President Yun, the opposition immediately cheered, saying, “The Korean people have received a valuable Christmas gift” (a statement from the Power of the People’s Legislative Judicial Commission). This atmosphere continued on the 25th. Kim Jong-in, Chairman of the People’s Power Emergency Response Committee, said, “Commonsense judgments have come out of something unusual,” and Ahn Cheol-soo, the head of the National Assembly Party, also said on Facebook, “It was a great comfort to the people who are having a depressing Christmas through corona. I am also fortunate and happy for me who have opposed the discipline of President Yun.”
Voices poured out urging President Moon to apologize to the public. Rep. Kim Ki-hyun, on his Facebook page, said, “It is no exaggeration to say that (the court decision) is an impeachment decision against President Moon.” “Now the President is no longer cowardly hiding behind the curtain and taking responsibility to the Minister of Justice or the disciplinary committee. I won’t be able to pass it over. In fact, President Moon, who was impeached, should immediately come before the people and make a genuine apology.”
Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong also called for President Moon’s apology, saying, “The Moon regime’s reform of the prosecution was completely broken both morally and legally.” Professor Park Hyung-jun of Dong-A University, who was in the Busan Mayor’s by-election, said, “It is President Moon’s defeat. Even now, the president must apologize,” he said. “If the judges who ruled otherwise are criticized and politically attacked the judiciary, the regime’s lame duck will cross a river that cannot be returned.”

Later, when President Moon said, “I apologize as a person in charge for causing inconvenience and confusion to the people,” through the Blue House spokesman Kang Min-seok, spokesman Kim Eun-hye also said, “The people are more confused by the apology of the takeover ceremony. I apologize that it would have been better not to do it.”
There were also warnings that they would be held legally responsible with Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae. Rep. Kwak Sang-do said on Facebook, “The only thing left to do is to hold President Moon and Minister Chu, who have tried to incapacitate and expel the prosecutor general in order to complete the dictatorship.” “(Park Geun-hye government’s) Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism No Director Tae-gang (former Vice Minister) has been held legally responsible for the personnel actions.” Former Congressman Oh Shin-hwan said, “I hope you leave the political world immediately.”
Even though the Democratic Party announced that it would further devote itself to’prosecution reform’ after holding an emergency countermeasure meeting presided over by CEO Nak-yeon Lee, “Is it just a poor taxpayer to call the ruling party representative, the in-house representative, and the judiciary members urgently?” (National Power Judge) Criticism came out.
In this way, the conservative opposition was encouraged by President Yoon’s ‘Pan Jeong-seung’, but at the same time, the worries as the first opposition party are also difficult. It is because the presence of President Yoon is growing not only for individual opposition presidential candidates, but also for the entire opposition power.

One member of the People’s Strength said, “As President Yoon and the government are confronted, the situation of the government is clearly revealed, so there is nothing wrong with our party right now. “It’s time to seriously think about how to bring the supporters Ban Moon Jae-in to our party, what kind of actions President Yoon will take, and how to establish a relationship.”
Another lawmaker said, “It is regrettable that Yun is doing what the opposition party should do”. “In the end, when the elections are held, the voters who oppose the government will join forces as the opposition party, and Yun, who does not have the right political power, will make a choice accordingly. I will have to do it.”
