[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] The Blue House has indicated that even if Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's side files an administrative lawsuit challenging the Ministry of Justice's disciplinary decision, there is no need for the Blue House to issue a separate statement.

A key Blue House official told reporters on the 17th, "Although the administrative lawsuit has not yet been filed, even if it is, it seems there is no need to issue a separate statement. For now, the defendant in the administrative lawsuit is not the President. I understand the defendant will be the Minister of Justice. Therefore, it seems even less necessary for the Blue House to take a position."

Additionally, regarding whether President Moon will make a decision on Minister Chu's resignation declaration, a key Blue House official said, "Since the President said he would carefully consider Minister Chu's resignation declaration, please wait a little longer. It is inappropriate to disclose what Minister Chu said when declaring his resignation."
