At the Youth Day commemorative ceremony, President Moon Jae-in, who emphasized the value of fairness, entered the 2nd National Intelligence Service, Prosecutor's Office, and Police Reform Strategy Meeting alongside Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae, who has been embroiled in unfairness issues. President Moon appeared to support Minister Chu by stressing the completion of reform in power institutions.


The power institution reform strategy meeting of the ruling party, government, and Blue House held at the Blue House on the 21st attracted attention as it took place amid ongoing controversies surrounding Minister Chu. Minister Chu is currently at the center of controversy due to allegations related to her son. The scene of President Moon and Minister Chu discussing power institution reform side by side led to various interpretations that President Moon was backing Minister Chu.


In fact, at the event, most attendees were seated five minutes before the start, but Minister Chu entered together with President Moon exactly at 2:00 PM. Behind the front of the meeting room was a blue background with the phrase "Complete the Reform of Power Institutions!" inscribed.


As voices within the ruling party claim that the opposition's attacks on Minister Chu are "to block prosecutorial reform," President Moon’s entrance into the meeting with Minister Chu and his emphasis on prosecutorial and power institution reform revealed his trust in Minister Chu.


In his opening remarks at the meeting, President Moon said, "The government has been pushing forward power institution reform not just by adjusting and redistributing the powers of each power institution or partially amending laws and systems, but with the determination to be reborn for the people," adding, "We must now work even harder to complete the remaining tasks."


President Moon acknowledged that "power institution reform is a difficult task," but said, "There is no need to think about it in a complicated way." He emphasized, "Power institution reform is about enabling everyone, from the heads responsible for organizations to the frontline workers sweating on the job, to faithfully fulfill their duties."



Meanwhile, on the 19th, in his congratulatory speech at the 1st Youth Day commemorative ceremony, President Moon repeated the word 'fairness' 37 times, emphasizing his commitment to making every effort to realize a fair society.
