[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] On the 27th, Won Hee-ryong, Governor of Jeju Province, criticized the report that KBS's false report on the 'media-prosecutor collusion' was conveyed by a key official of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office as "a sinister operation revealing the evil face of collusion between power and the media."

In a post on his Facebook page that morning, Governor Won said, "If there really is a prosecutor from the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office behind this KBS false report, this is not collusion but a fabrication."

He pointed out, "The reason for the year-long campaign to kill Yoon Seok-yeol in the name of prosecutorial reform is being revealed by the trial results," adding, "They launched a campaign to kill Han Dong-hoon under the pretext of media-prosecutor collusion, but as the truth is revealed, the sinister face of collusion between power and the media is coming to light."

He continued, "The claim by Chief Prosecutor Han Dong-hoon that the regime orchestrated this operation using MBC is being proven true by the KBS incident," and "If the collusion between power and the media is proven true, President Moon Jae-in must issue a public apology and immediately dismiss Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae and Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office Chief Lee Sung-yoon. KBS President Yang Seung-dong and related personnel must also resign."

He urged, "Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol should appoint a special prosecutor and immediately order an investigation into the collusion between power and the media case."
