[Asia Economy Reporter Nana Han] As the prosecution conducted simultaneous raids to investigate the 'alleged manipulation of the economic feasibility assessment of Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1,' the Democratic Party of Korea criticized it, calling it "Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's politics."

Spokesperson Kang Seon-woo strongly criticized on the 7th in a statement, saying, "The Prosecutor General is not an elected representative of the people, nor is the prosecution a political party," and added, "The Prosecutor General's role is to conduct fair and impartial investigations for the people, not politics for himself."

Kang pointed out this while noting that the Supreme Prosecutors' Office included the Daejeon District Prosecutors' Office, which is investigating the nuclear power plant, in the 'video of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's provincial prosecutors' office tour' posted on official social media on the 4th.

He said, "If you want to know a politician's thoughts, look at their feet, not their words," and criticized, "The place where the complaint related to the Wolseong Unit 1 investigation filed by the People Power Party was directed and the place where Prosecutor General Yoon's feet went are the same."

He added, "In the video, Prosecutor General Yoon appears cheerful throughout, which is quite different from his demeanor when attending the National Assembly audit," and questioned, "Was this a message to the prosecution staff?"

Spokesperson Kang also said, "Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae ordered a detailed report on Prosecutor General Yoon's special activity expenses," and added, "I hope the places where Prosecutor General Yoon's feet went did not cross the boundaries of his duties and that he remained faithful to his position."
