On that day, Gong shared a post on her Facebook titled "Cho Kuk, His Morality Justified Prosecution Reform," stating, "If former Minister Cho had been thoroughly investigated and proven guilty of corruption, prosecution reform would have been difficult."

She continued, "If you and those around you were subjected to over 100 searches, what would come out?" and wrote, "We are crossing the turbulent waters of eradicating deep-rooted evils on a lifebuoy made of his and his family's suffering."

Meanwhile, on the 8th, the Ministry of Justice carried out personnel changes for prosecutors at the level of chief prosecutors and above, transferring all key executives of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.
