[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Rep. Seol Hoon of the Democratic Party of Korea said about Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who is clashing with Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae over the inspection of the 'Han Myeong-sook case,' "If it were me, I would have already quit. How can he endure in this situation?"

On the 19th, Rep. Seol said in an interview with YTN Radio's 'Noh Young-hee's Start of a New Morning,' "In any previous government, there has never been a situation where the Prosecutor General and the Minister of Justice appeared to be fighting due to differing views."

Rep. Seol added, "I recall that there has been no such case since the founding of the nation. Saying that Prosecutor General Yoon and Minister Choo seem to be fighting now is an extremely unfortunate situation, so I think it must be resolved soon," urging Prosecutor General Yoon to resign.

He further expressed, "Basically, it is hard to accept as common sense that the Minister of Justice and the Prosecutor General are fighting like this."

He continued, "It may be an exaggeration to say that Prosecutor General Yoon is hostile toward our government, but it is a well-known fact that they have been at odds. It is wrong to come out opposing the Minister of Justice. The Minister of Justice and the Prosecutor General should share the same opinion on any issue as a matter of common sense," he pointed out.
