[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized the ruling party's stance on the 10th that "Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol defied the prosecution's personnel decisions," saying, "They are nitpicking because they need something to catch on."


On the same day, Jin posted on his Facebook, "The Avengers of the party, government, and Blue House have all appeared to build the 'defiance' frame," adding, "Chu Mi-ae, Lee Nak-yeon, Lee Hae-chan, Lee In-young, Hong Ik-pyo, Lee Jae-jung, and the Blue House... In a rigged game, there are people around the table who stir things up. You can see these people are doing just that."


He continued, "If they want to pressure him to resign, they need something to catch on, so they collectively nitpick and call it 'defiance,'" and said, "They are moving in perfect unison according to one scenario, unmistakably resembling the behavior of that person who said, 'If you say I'll cut the belly, I'll cut it carefully.'"


Finally, former professor Jin emphasized, "Seeing the party, government, and Blue House all stepping up, it seems the situation is urgent," and urged, "Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, push forward like a rhinoceros horn for the country without hesitation."


On the 9th, Choo Mi-ae, Minister of Justice, sent a text message to Jo Doo-hyun, Policy Advisor to the Minister of Justice, at the National Assembly plenary session, instructing him to find the disciplinary regulations.
