[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Heo Midam] Min Kyung-wook, a member of the Liberty Korea Party, criticized Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae, saying, "What is this talk about waiting alone for 6 hours after the personnel committee ended?"

On the 10th, Min posted on his Facebook, "When the prosecution personnel committee tried to unilaterally notify the personnel plan 30 minutes before the meeting, Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol requested a consultation, but even the soon-to-resign Prime Minister stepped in and called it 'insubordination,'" he said.

He added another post, stating, "What I mean is, why do they keep bringing up the time I spent sitting on the toilet reading a newspaper after taking care of urgent business?"

Earlier, on the 9th, Minister Choo appeared at the National Assembly Legislation and Judiciary Committee plenary session and said, "Even though I asked Prosecutor General Yoon to come and give his opinion, he did not," adding, "On the 7th, I also asked him to give his opinion and spoke with him for over an hour urging him to do so. After the personnel committee, I believed it was possible to express opinions at any time, so I canceled all schedules and waited for a full 6 hours."

She then criticized, "The Prosecutor General made an unreasonable demand unrelated to laws and regulations, asking to bring specific personnel plans to a third location," calling it "an unacceptable act."
