[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] Lee Kwang-jae, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, recently commented on the conflict between Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae and Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl, saying, "We need to see who loves the people more."


On the 3rd, Lee appeared on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' and said about the ongoing conflict between Minister Chu and Prosecutor General Yoon, "It is making the people suffer for too long," adding, "We need wisdom like Solomon's."


Lee emphasized, "It is heartbreaking that we are struggling to make a living now, yet this has been going on for months," and said, "From the perspective of ordinary people, prosecutorial reform is necessary, but the method should be agreed upon and resolved."


He continued, "Both Minister Chu and Prosecutor General Yoon were appointed by President Moon Jae-in, so they should consider what it means not to be a burden to the President," adding, "Now, I hope the head of the Corruption Investigation Office is appointed quickly, and with new figures, we can move on to the 'season of the economy.'"



Regarding Prosecutor General Yoon's potential candidacy in the next presidential election, Lee said, "It is not a desirable thing," and added, "I believe he will not choose to run. Polls are really like bubbles."
