[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] Professor Kim Geun-sik of Gyeongnam National University, chairman of the Seoul Songpa-byeong party committee, criticized Rep. Jeong Cheong-rae of the Democratic Party of Korea, who described Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae as a "resolute and straightforward Minister of Justice," saying, "It's not about being resolute, but about having no sense."

On the 20th, Professor Kim shared an article titled 'Jeong Cheong-rae supports Choo Mi-ae's investigative authority: "This is the first time I've seen such a resolute Minister of Justice"' on his Facebook and said, "We must acknowledge Minister Choo Mi-ae's resolve. She pushed through Roh Moo-hyun's impeachment 'resolutely' and even performed the three-step, one-bow repentance ritual," adding this comment.

He pointed out, "During her time as chair of the National Assembly's Environment and Labor Committee, she blocked Democratic Party members from entering and 'resolutely' passed laws. Despite her son's leave-of-absence scandal, she remained unfazed, telling 27 lies and 'resolutely' clearing herself of charges. As a shield for the Moon Jae-in administration and protector of power corruption, she once again 'resolutely' exercised investigative authority that will be remembered in history," he said.

He continued, "As if to atone for the sin of pushing impeachment 'resolutely,' she is now showing ultra-extreme resolve as the vanguard of the pro-Moon faction," adding, "At this level, it's not resolve but obstinacy."

He further stated, "As for what results Minister Choo's resolve will bring, now the people will 'resolutely' judge the Moon Jae-in administration," he added.

Earlier, on the 19th, Rep. Jeong posted on his Facebook under the title '"Yoon Seok-yeol, hands off"... Minister Choo Mi-ae is strong because she is right,' saying, "Minister Choo exercised her investigative authority. The Supreme Prosecutors' Office apparently accepted it immediately without resistance," and argued, "Isn't this proof that something the Supreme Prosecutors' Office could not resist was confirmed during the Ministry of Justice's inspection?"

Rep. Jeong said, "Minister Choo's investigative authority takes effect immediately upon exercise. Now Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol can only watch helplessly regarding cases of public interest," adding, "Especially regarding investigations into his own family, he can only watch with a bitter heart."

He added, "I've never seen such a resolute and straightforward Minister of Justice. I support Minister Choo Mi-ae," and concluded, "I hope she will establish justice and law and order properly."
