[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Jang Je-won, a member of the People Power Party, advised Choo Mi-ae, Minister of Justice, who decided to suspend Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol from his duties, saying, "It's not too late, so take the right path."

On the 26th, Jang stated on Facebook, "Minister Choo and the core of the regime must be very bewildered by the public sentiment's agitation and the frontline prosecutors' backlash, which far exceeded their predicted level."

He said, "All six high-ranking prosecutors strongly criticized the suspension of Prosecutor General Yoon, and the President of the Korean Bar Association also issued a weighty statement requesting reconsideration of the suspension," adding, "You must take the right path. It is still not too late."

Jang pointed out, "It seems there is an unavoidable regime-level reason to remove Prosecutor General Yoon, who has already become a figurehead due to Minister Choo's abuse of personnel authority, inspection rights, and investigative command," and warned, "If the illegal, vaguely based, and politically motivated suspension of the Prosecutor General is not corrected even now, the regime will fall into an uncontrollable situation."
