[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol emphasized to senior prosecutors transferring positions through personnel changes, "Please ensure that there is no disruption in the continuity of ongoing important case investigations and trials."

Prosecutor General Yoon made these remarks at the ceremony for reporting the transfer of chief prosecutors held at 5:30 PM on the 10th in the Daegyeom Prosecution Office's main conference room. This was his first official appearance since the Ministry of Justice's prosecution personnel reshuffle on the 8th. Thirty-one senior prosecutors undergoing personnel changes attended the event.

Yoon stated, "To gain public trust, you must always keep in mind that the public is watching the prosecution and work with the public in mind." He added, "There is not a single posting for prosecutors that is unimportant," and regarding the upcoming April general elections, he requested, "Please prepare thoroughly to ensure fair election management."

He also said, "With laws related to the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) set to be implemented in July, we must ensure that the changing criminal laws are well established and that the public can use them without inconvenience. The Daegyeom Prosecution Office will strive to establish the system within a short period, but I ask our chief prosecutors on the front lines to actively cooperate and take an interest."
