[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized Yoo Si-min, chairman of the Roh Moo-hyun Foundation, who stated that Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol is practically in a 'plant prosecutor general' state.

On the 11th, former professor Jin shared a YouTube video on his Facebook showing Chairman Yoo making remarks related to SillaJen, saying, "Ahn Cheol-soo, the leader of the People's Party, says that if the ruling party (Democratic Party) wins overwhelmingly, investigations into the regime's corruption will be halted, right?"

In the YouTube video, Chairman Yoo said regarding SillaJen's listing, "I think it is amazing that a Korean company (SillaJen) is conducting global clinical trials." Currently, the bio company SillaJen is under investigation by prosecutors over allegations of corruption involving shareholders and executives.

Former professor Jin continued, "Yoon Seok-yeol is not someone who would quit on his own just because of pressure, and it would not be easy for the regime to forcibly remove him by picking on an innocent person," he wrote.

However, he claimed, "Everyone can expect that pressure on the Prosecutor General will intensify after the general election," adding, "They will do everything to hinder the investigation team."

He also criticized Chairman Yoo, saying, "As an overwhelming victory is expected in the general election, Yoo Si-min rejoices that Yoon Seok-yeol is already a 'plant prosecutor general.'"

Finally, he said, "Yoo Si-min seems to have been tense all this time but now appears to be somewhat relieved."

Earlier, on the 10th, Chairman Yoo claimed on his YouTube channel ‘Yoo Si-min's Alileo’ that "It is not impossible for the pan-progressive camp to secure 180 seats including proportional representation."

He also mentioned Prosecutor General Yoon, saying he is "practically in a plant prosecutor general state," and that "(Yoon's) mother-in-law has been indicted, and his prestige as Prosecutor General has plummeted to the ground."
