[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Regarding the controversy over the prosecution personnel appointments, the Liberty Korea Party criticized Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae's statement that "the Prosecutor General defied my orders" as a "term that could only be seen in historical dramas."

Hwang Gyu-hwan, deputy spokesperson of the Liberty Korea Party, stated in a commentary on the 9th, "It is the Moon (文) administration, which carried out the personnel outrage, that truly defied public sentiment."

He criticized, "A term that could only be seen in historical dramas came out in the National Assembly, and from the mouth of the Minister of Justice at that. He also added an absurd self-praise calling yesterday's personnel outrage 'the most fair and balanced personnel appointment.'"

Deputy Spokesperson Hwang pointed out, "It seems that the country Minister Choo lives in is not the Republic of Korea in 2020. It appears she lives in a completely different world, a monarchical state." He added, "Prosecution personnel appointments require the Minister of Justice to 'listen to the opinion' of the Prosecutor General before recommending to the President. This is a measure to ensure the political neutrality of the prosecution in a democratic society."
