[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Young-eun] A Blue House petition opposing the disciplinary action and dismissal of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol has surpassed 100,000 endorsements.

The petition titled "Withdrawal of Disciplinary Action Against Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol and Opposition to His Dismissal," posted on the Blue House petition board on the 4th, received 130,000 endorsements within three days and over 150,000 endorsements as of 9 a.m. on the 8th.

The petitioner stated, "I earnestly request the President to immediately halt the disciplinary procedures against Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, which are being pursued by Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae, as well as any expected dismissal following the disciplinary committee's decision, regardless of any reasons, and to allow Prosecutor General Yoon to complete his term smoothly."

They continued, "If such a request is ignored and the aspirations of the people are betrayed, I am confident that the resulting backlash will ignite nationwide popular resistance comparable to the April 19 Revolution or the June 10 Democratic Uprising."

The Ministry of Justice's disciplinary committee for Prosecutor General Yoon is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on the 10th. Originally, the disciplinary committee was set for the 2nd, but was postponed to the 4th at Yoon's request and then rescheduled again to the 10th.
