[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 4th, Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the People Power Party, criticized President Moon Jae-in's statement that the Ministry of Justice's disciplinary committee's 'procedural legitimacy and fairness are very important' regarding Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, saying, "Before talking about procedural legitimacy, President Moon should first clarify the reason why Prosecutor General Yoon is being disciplined."

On the same day, Ha said on Facebook, "President Moon, who appointed Prosecutor General Yoon himself, cannot even state the reason for ousting him and is hiding behind procedures. Or perhaps he wants to appear more fair compared to Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae," adding, "It's shameful."

Ha pointed out, "Even if they hide behind Minister Choo and behind procedures, the public knows that the intention to oust Prosecutor General Yoon is the intention of Choo Mi-ae and Moon Jae-in," and "The reason the public is angry is not the disciplinary committee's procedure but why Prosecutor General Yoon should be disciplined."

Ha stated, "Unlike others appointed by the president, the Prosecutor General, whose political independence is important, has a guaranteed term by law," and "Therefore, President Moon has the obligation to directly explain to the public what Prosecutor General Yoon did wrong. He should not cowardly hide behind procedures."
