2:00 PM: Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, expresses his gratitude
3:15 p.m.: Blue House announces’Acceptance of President Moon Jae-in’
Yoon Seok-yeol, who was called by President Moon Jae-in as “the prosecutor general of the Moon Jae-in government.” It only took ’75 minutes’ for Moon to accept his appreciation. By accepting it without long agony, President Moon revealed his’anger’. After about 45 minutes, the resignation of Shin Hyun-soo, chief executive officer of the Blue House, was also accepted. It means that President Moon has decided to immediately clear up his bad relationship with the prosecution.
President Yoon’s gaze is toward politics. It is openly said that the goal is the’next presidential power’. Whatever step he takes in the future, it is already a blow to President Moon. It was President Moon who appointed President Yoon in 2019 despite the warning that he was a “dangerous person”. The fact that the incumbent prosecutor general quit saying’destruction of the constitution’ also left the question of’whether the Moon Jae-in administration’s prosecution reform is correct.’

Yun Seok-yeol stipulates “Wen, destruction of the Constitution”… Government value denial
In’The Side of Resignation’, President Yoon denied the reform of the prosecution, which is the core task of the Moon Jae-in administration. “The constitutional spirit and the rule of law system that supported this country are being destroyed,” he said. When Yoon said, “I will do my best to protect liberal democracy and protect the people,” it was a blow that the Moon Jae-in administration was unable to do so.
When President Moon appointed President Yoon, the Blue House praised him, saying, “During his tenure as a prosecutor, he showed unwavering rigidity under external pressures of power.” Yoon’s resignation during an investigation aimed at the core of the regime damaged the morality of the regime. This is because there is a high likelihood that Yoon’s resignation would be read as’there was external pressure from power’.
It is also a burdensome point to be pretending to be one of the people who have been selected by President Moon, such as President Yoon, as well as chief auditor Choi Jae-hyung and former chief Shin Hyun-soo. As the pattern of’recruitment of a strong assessment line personnel → clash with the Blue House over the regime’s Achilles tendon’ is repeated, criticism is growing as to’Will you only write personnel to protect the regime?’
President Moon Jae-in answers questions from reporters at the ‘2021 New Year Press Conference’ at the Blue House Chunchu Hall on January 18th. At the time, President Moon left the words, “Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol is the prosecutor general of the Moon Jae-in administration.” Newsis
“Prosecutor General Mun” resigns after 40 days… 文 Leadership also hurt
Until recently, President Moon tried to hug Yun. At a New Year’s press conference in January, he said, “President Yoon is the prosecutor general of the Moon Jae-in government.” “I don’t think that Yoon is acting as the prosecutor general while thinking about politics with politics in mind,” he said. However, President Yoon was praised for running toward’politics’ in about two months. A question mark was engraved on the president’s’Yonginsul’, which is the basis of government.

‘Wental Anger’ to’political’ judgment… quick acceptance conclusion
President Moon immediately accepted Yoon’s appreciation. He didn’t hesitate or worry about it. The Blue House briefly stated that’President Moon accepted his appreciation’ without any investigation. There were few questions from reporters about the company’s acceptance background. The displeasure was read even in the attitude not to add an explanation.
President Moon seems to have decided that he would quickly cut off General Yoon and evolve the conflict with the prosecution. It is in the same context that the resignation of former chief Shin Hyun-soo was immediately arranged. Yoon’s resignation was filed with the Ministry of Justice. A senior Blue House official said, “The administrative procedure will proceed.”
