[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Seulgi Kim] Kim Boo-kyum, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, told Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, "There is no need to cause unnecessary conflicts with the President, the people, or the Minister of Justice."

On the day, Kim said on YTN Radio's "Noh Young-hee's Start of a New Morning," "We must not dream of the privileges the prosecution once enjoyed."

He referred to the passage of the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office Act (the Corruption Investigation Office Act) and the adjustment of investigative authority between the prosecution and the police in the National Assembly, saying, "I believe Prosecutor General Yoon understands the significance well. He will confidently carry out the point that the prosecution should not be complacent with the privileges it has enjoyed so far."

Additionally, Kim conveyed the public sentiment in the Daegu region regarding the recent high-ranking personnel appointments in the prosecution, stating, "In Daegu, there is a strong atmosphere that 'when the power was challenged with a sword, the power struck back from behind.'

However, he added, "Considering that the high-ranking personnel appointments themselves are not illegal and that the President carried out the appointments despite political burdens, I think the prosecution needs to reflect on itself."

Regarding the voting sentiment in Daegu for the 21st general election, he said, "There is an expression that Daegu is a tough district, but Korean citizens live in Daegu as well, and healthy democratic citizens reside there. Candidates must break through with sincerity as if their lives depend on it."
