[Asia Economy Reporter Wondara] Kim Haeyoung, a Supreme Council member of the Democratic Party of Korea, requested Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae to "be cautious with her remarks."

On the morning of the 14th, at an expanded executive meeting held at the National Assembly, Supreme Council member Kim said, "I would like to say a few words to Minister Choo."

Kim stated, "Prosecutorial reform is necessary and must be continuously pursued," adding, "However, I ask for special caution so that the reform measures promoted by the Minister do not appear to the public as politically motivated incidents."

He also said, "I urge you to be careful with every statement so that the public does not misunderstand."

Kim's remarks are interpreted as pointing out the recent controversy caused by Minister Choo's statement at a press briefing about separating the investigation and prosecution decision-making within the prosecution. Some within the Democratic Party criticized that Minister Choo's remarks burden the party's approval ratings.

Supreme Council member Kim previously drew attention by making 'principled remarks' regarding the nomination issue of Moon Seokgyun, son of National Assembly Speaker Moon Heesang.
