[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] The Alternative New Party (tentative name) stated on the 2nd that it "expects a prosecutorial administration that is not only based on law and principles but also filled with compassion" regarding President Moon Jae-in's approval of the appointment of Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae.

Kim Jeong-hyun, spokesperson for the Alternative New Party, said in a commentary on the same day, "Many citizens have been asking what the law truly means after the 'Cho Kuk incident,' and Minister Choo now faces the task of restoring trust in the rule of law."

Spokesperson Kim added, "During this transitional period of the national judicial system, including the passage of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) Act and the adjustment of investigative authority between the prosecution and police, we hope that the newly established CIO, the judiciary, prosecution, and police will each fulfill their roles properly and that a stable mediator role will be played."
