[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Presidential Chief of Staff Noh Young-min pointed out regarding Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, "I do not know his intention, but the majority of the public judges that he has 'entered the political arena'."

On the 13th, Noh responded to a question from Park Sung-jun, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, at the National Assembly Steering Committee, asking whether Prosecutor General Yoon is entering the political arena.

Regarding Park's question, "Shouldn't the Prosecutor General's political behavior be brought back to its proper place?" Noh replied, "He will judge and conduct himself well on that matter."

In response to Park's question that the greed of the prosecution should be controlled by the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO), Noh said, "Under our current legal system, the Prosecutor's Office is a central administrative agency under the Ministry of Justice," and "According to our law, the highest supervisor of prosecutorial affairs is the Minister of Justice."
