[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun and Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae had a private meeting for about 10 minutes on the morning of the 1st before the Cabinet meeting.

As the theory of simultaneous resignation of Minister Choo and Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl has emerged as a solution to the conflict between the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution, it is believed that discussions related to this took place.

That day's Cabinet meeting was conducted by connecting the Blue House and the Government Seoul Office via video conference.

Minister Choo appeared at the Seoul Government Office around 9:45 a.m. Afterwards, Prime Minister Chung and Minister Choo had a conversation for about 10 minutes in the Prime Minister's office within the building before entering the meeting room together.

Earlier, Prime Minister Chung expressed the opinion that Prosecutor General Yoon's voluntary resignation was inevitable during his regular meeting with President Moon the previous day.

At the same time, Prime Minister Chung expressed concern that "the disciplinary issue of Prosecutor General Yoon is becoming a significant burden on state administration."

In political circles, there was an interpretation that Prime Minister Chung was implicitly suggesting a plan for Prosecutor General Yoon and Minister Choo to resign simultaneously.
