Earlier, on November 30, during a regular meeting with President Moon, Prime Minister Chung reportedly discussed the resignation of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl and Minister Chu's position. Although he did not directly mention Minister Chu's resignation, it is known that he expressed the need to manage the situation.


President Moon is reportedly focusing on responses based on laws and systems rather than political solutions. He is also concerned about the lack of a proper solution if Prosecutor General Yoon does not voluntarily resign.


Meanwhile, the Ministry of Justice stated that the resignation issue was not raised during Minister Chu's visit to the Blue House. The Ministry explained, "Today, the Minister of Justice entered the Blue House immediately after the Cabinet meeting to report the current situation to the President."



The Ministry of Justice added, "Also, the Minister reported the situation to the Prime Minister before the morning Cabinet meeting, and we inform you that there was absolutely no discussion about resignation as reported in some articles during the President's report and the meeting with the Prime Minister."
