[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 25th, members of the People Power Party belonging to the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee visited the Supreme Prosecutors' Office to verify the facts related to the suspension of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol from his duties.

Kim Do-eup, the People Power Party's floor leader on the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, stated at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in the afternoon, "It is important to determine whether the inspection of Prosecutor General Yoon was properly conducted and whether there was a procedure to verify the facts during the inspection process," adding, "We will check if there was a process that can acknowledge procedural legitimacy."

Kim said, "An unprecedented suspension of the Prosecutor General's duties has occurred," and criticized, "The Ministry of Justice unilaterally made the suspension public without guaranteeing the right to rebut and abruptly suspended the duties." He continued, "If the prosecution is shaken now, the rule of law will be shaken," and said, "If we stand by and do nothing, our National Assembly will be neglecting its duties."

Earlier, the People Power Party attempted to hold a full meeting of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee alone in the morning to investigate the facts of Prosecutor General Yoon's suspension, but it was blocked by the Democratic Party of Korea.
