[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Heo Midam] Yoo Seung-min, a member of the New Conservative Party, criticized Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae's personnel reshuffle in the prosecution on the 9th, saying, "The prosecution massacre will return as a knife several times more terrifying to President Moon Jae-in and his accomplices."

In a post on Facebook that day, Rep. Yoo said, "President Moon cut off all the hands and feet of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl," adding, "He dismissed all those responsible for investigations to avoid probes tightening around the heart of power, such as Cho Kuk, Yoo Jae-soo, and the Ulsan mayoral election fraud, and planted henchmen there."

He questioned, "Can the president cover up the illegalities and corruption they committed forever?" and pointed out, "This country reveals and brings to justice responsibilities from 5 years ago, 10 years ago, and even 40 years ago. How long can the Moon Jae-in administration cover up their illegalities?"

Then Rep. Yoo added, "No matter how much the living power struggles, the truth will soon be revealed, and when the moon wanes, illegalities and corruption will be struck down with a heavy hammer."

He also advised Prosecutor General Yoon, "After all, we only live once. Do not bend your will."

He continued, "Do not forget that there are countless citizens who recognize and support you. As a 'constitutionalist,' look only to the people and walk the path of a prosecutor in a democratic republic."

Earlier, on the 8th, the Ministry of Justice carried out promotions and transfers of 32 senior prosecutors at the level of chief prosecutors (equivalent to senior prosecutors at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office) effective from the 13th. This personnel reshuffle replaced many of Prosecutor General Yoon's key aides.

Han Dong-hoon, head of the Anti-Corruption and Serious Crimes Division who led investigations into former Justice Minister Cho Kuk's family corruption and the Blue House's cover-up of the inspection, was transferred to Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Busan High Prosecutors' Office, and Park Chan-ho, head of the Public Investigation Division handling allegations of Blue House election interference, was transferred to Chief Prosecutor of Jeju District Prosecutors' Office.
