[Asia Economy, reporter Lee Jieun] Former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Joonpyo raised his voice toward the prosecution, urging them to "demonstrate their spirit in the face of a lawless administration."

On November 27, through his Facebook account, Hong stated, "Although you made significant contributions to the launch of the Moon Jaein administration by playing a key role in the so-called 'political investigation' under the pretense of state affairs manipulation, you have now been discarded and demoted to a second-rate investigative agency with the establishment of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials. The main actors in investigations have now become the subjects of investigations themselves, so it is understandable that you are angry."

He continued, "Moreover, even your symbol, the Prosecutor General, is being treated this way. If you remain silent, you are not prosecutors. Those who are quick to read the situation may resign and move to the Corruption Investigation Office, but shouldn't you show this lawless administration what true prosecutorial spirit is?"
