[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgi Kim] As allegations of special favors, such as extended sick leave during the military service of Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae's son, have been raised, Kim Jong-min, a Supreme Council member of the Democratic Party of Korea, claimed it was an attempt by the opposition to shake up prosecutorial reform. Meanwhile, Kim Woong, a member of the People Power Party, sarcastically said on the 4th, "Creepy. That's right. The prosecution made Minister Choo's son go AWOL two years ago to block reform."

On the same day, Kim posted on his Facebook, "That's not all. The soaring unemployment rate, the national debt increasing to 1,000 trillion won, and the skyrocketing real estate prices are also conspiracies by the prosecution," he said.

He added, "The blowing up of the inter-Korean liaison office, the market leaders committing power-type sexual crimes, assaulting mistresses, the public's enthusiasm for the seven-point reform proposal, the bestseller status of the 'Cho Kuk Black Book,' and the British Economist's criticism calling it the dictator's true face?all of these, along with the Yoon Mi-hyang case, Yoo Jae-soo case, and Cho Kuk family case, are fabrications to obstruct prosecutorial reform," he stated.

Earlier, Supreme Council member Kim claimed at the Supreme Council meeting that "absurd political attacks regarding the extension of Minister Choo's son's sick leave continue. I believe there is a political intention to shake prosecutorial reform."

Kim also criticized, saying, "Our military is no longer a place where a single phone call can make such things happen. The world has changed," and added, "People Power should not just change its name but change its mindset."
