[Asia Economy Reporter Wondara] Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong urged President Moon Jae-in to take responsibility and resolve the issue regarding the 'Yoon Seok-yeol resignation theory' being raised within the ruling party.

On the morning of the 21st, Governor Won criticized on his Facebook post, "The administration's attack on Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol has lost reason. The scenario to remove Yoon Seok-yeol is becoming visible."

He stated, "Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae ordered the investigation of former Prime Minister Han Myeong-sook to be entrusted to the Supreme Prosecutors' Office Inspection Department. If this is the case, why do we need a Prosecutor General? The Minister of Justice could just act as the Prosecutor General," and pointed out, "Ruling party figures, including Representative Seol Hoon, are unanimously demanding Prosecutor General Yoon's resignation as if they have agreed beforehand."

Governor Won asked, "I ask President Moon Jae-in. Is the president's silence tacit approval of the scenario, or is it an instruction?" and said, "The ruling party's attack on Yoon Seok-yeol is already being accepted as the president's will."

He continued, "If this is the case, President Moon must make a decision. Honestly confess that the phrase 'investigate even the living power' was empty words and boldly dismiss Prosecutor General Yoon," urging, "President Moon must take responsibility. He must decide whether to trust or dismiss Prosecutor General Yoon."

He added, "The behavior of mobilizing pro-government media, pro-government civic groups, and pro-government intellectuals and mobilizing supporters to attack political opponents resembles that of the military regime," and said, "President Moon and the Democratic Party should look in the mirror. They will see themselves, who have become monsters of dictatorship while fighting dictatorship."
