[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Yoo Seung-min, a former lawmaker and opposition presidential candidate, demanded that President Moon Jae-in "take responsibility and resolve the issue," calling for the dismissal of Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae and the guarantee of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl's term.

On the 2nd, Yoo said on Facebook, "The moment of choice has come for President Moon Jae-in."

He pointed out, "Even an imperial president has no choice but to abide by the court's decision," and "The plan to remove the Prosecutor General by hiding behind the minister has fallen through."

Yoo emphasized, "Although it is already quite late, now the president must make the final choice," adding, "Minister or Prosecutor General? There is only one choice between the two."

He criticized, "Aren't both appointed by the president himself? To end this confusion, the president must take responsibility and resolve the issue," and "Dismiss the minister and guarantee the Prosecutor General's term. This is the only way to establish justice and uphold the rule of law."

Yoo warned, "If the Prosecutor General is dismissed and the minister remains, the people will rise up, and if both the minister and the Prosecutor General are dismissed, that would be a trick without right or wrong," adding, "If the Prosecutor General is dismissed without guaranteeing the term, the political responsibility will forever lie with the president and this administration."
