[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] Kim Geunsik, the head of the Seoul Songpabyung Party Committee of the People Power Party, warned Im Eunjeong, the chief prosecutor of Ulsan District Prosecutors' Office who has been assigned to the inspection duties of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, saying, "The word 'bopil' primarily means to assist rather than to correct," and added, "Do not tarnish the meaning of 'bopil'."

Earlier, on the 10th, Chief Prosecutor Im posted on her Facebook, stating, "Although there seem to be complaints within the prosecution, I will assist the Prosecutor General well," and clarified, "'Bopil' means 'to make right, to correct'." Chief Prosecutor Im has pointed out internal issues within the prosecution and has publicly raised critical voices against Prosecutor General Yoon Seokyeol.

On the 11th, Committee Head Kim wrote on his Facebook, "I just learned that 'bopil' means 'to correct'," and pointed out, "To truly assist means to be able to tell the person you serve when they are wrong. When advising a lord, sincerity and trust must be present."

He continued, "The meaning of 'bopil' as used by Prosecutor Im is not sincerity but hostility, with the blatant intention to attack Prosecutor General Yoon's mistakes," criticizing her.

Kim questioned, "Only when one truly respects, trusts, and relies on the lord they serve can they advise and correct mistakes. Considering that Prosecutor Im has viewed Prosecutor General Yoon as an adversary from the start, regarded him as the head of a political prosecution, and perceived him as a lackey of the entrenched prosecution, can she truly 'bopil' him with sincerity, respect, and trust?"

He added, "What she calls 'bopil' is not genuine assistance. She is using this to undermine and eliminate Prosecutor General Yoon," and criticized, "It is not the sincerity to correct the mistakes of the person one serves, but a collusion with external forces to oust the person served."
