[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon, Intern Reporter Lee Jun-hyung] The conservative civic group Jayu Yeondae voluntarily removed about 350 wreaths supporting Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol that had been installed in front of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in Seocho-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 2nd.

Jayu Yeondae stated that day, "We removed the wreaths because we believe the intention of displaying them has been conveyed to the citizens." About 40 people, including Jayu Yeondae officials, Seocho-gu Office staff, and removal company workers, participated in the removal, which began around 9:40 a.m. No separate press conference or rally was held.

The wreaths began to be displayed here from the 19th of last month. When Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae exercised her authority to direct investigations into the Lime Asset Management lobbying scandal and other cases, supporters started sending wreaths to cheer Prosecutor General Yoon. The wreaths lined up from the Supreme Prosecutors' Office to near Seocho Police Station, and from the main gate of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office across the street to the rear gate of the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office. The wreaths bore messages such as "Stay strong, Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol" and "The people support Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol."

On the 26th of last month, Seocho-gu sent an administrative execution warning letter to Jayu Yeondae and the Patriotic Patrol Team, stating, "The wreaths interfere with the purpose of individual laws such as maintaining urban aesthetics and public morals, so please voluntarily remove them by October 28."
