[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 15th, Yoo Seung-min, a member of the People Power Party, criticized President Moon Jae-in's statement that "if the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office (PCC) had been established, the Park Geun-hye administration's state affairs manipulation might not have occurred," saying, "The original plan has completely disappeared, and it has become an absurd PCC law tailored to the tastes of those in power," and added, "If such a PCC had existed in the previous administration, wouldn't the prosecution have been unable to even start investigating the state affairs manipulation?"

On the same day, former lawmaker Yoo wrote on Facebook, "They say political neutrality is vital, yet before even implementing the law, they removed the opposition party's veto power and made it so the president can do as he pleases," and questioned, "Has any opposition politician ever advocated for a PCC controlled at the president's whim?"

Yoo further stated, "President Moon's remarks today have gone beyond a mere disconnection from reality. The president has reached a state where he doesn't even know what he is saying," and criticized, "It is obvious how the PCC chief appointed by the president will act. They will start investigations on prosecutors, judges, and politicians who do not obey. The Achilles' heels of this administration?such as the Ulsan mayor election fraud allegations, the economic feasibility manipulation of the Wolseong Unit 1 nuclear reactor, and the Optimus and Lime corruption scandals?will be seized by the PCC under any pretext to conceal evidence and grant immunity."

Yoo concluded, "Ultimately, when the administration changes, the PCC chief will be replaced first, and all these cases will be reinvestigated," and emphasized, "President Moon will do whatever it takes to extend his administration and continue covering up their illegal acts. The opposition party now has one more compelling reason to resolutely pursue a change of government. We must ensure a regime change so that they deeply regret having created such a PCC."
