[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] Former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk could not hide his displeasure at some conservative media's excessive 'praising of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol.'

On the 19th, Cho shared a screenshot of TV Chosun's 'News Ya?!' broadcast on his SNS, saying, "Heartwarming good news reports are coming one after another." The screen contained the phrase 'Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, loyal to his wife.'

TV Chosun stated, "Prosecutor General Yoon takes great care of his wife, Kim Geon-hee, who has been under stress, unable to eat well, and has lost excessive weight, even packing lunch boxes for her," adding, "It would be better to describe him as 'a husband loyal to his wife' rather than 'Yoon Seok-yeol, because his wife is sick.'"

In this regard, former Minister Cho indirectly expressed, "Heartwarming good news reports are coming one after another."

Earlier, on the 18th, Cho raised suspicions about a photo report stating "Prosecutor General Yoon is walking his pet dog in the park of an apartment complex in Seocho-gu," asking, "Who informed about the adoption of the disabled dog, the dog's name, and the walking time?"

He added, "Why do they only take and introduce good news photos without asking questions?" and said, "I remember the reporters who bombarded aggressive questions from dawn to late at night in front of my house throughout the second half of last year. I really don't understand why they stayed silent even when they saw the best news material, Prosecutor General Yoon, right in front of them."

Then, on the 20th, Cho posted again, sharing a screenshot from a broadcast last October, saying, "The media outlet that worryingly reported that Kim Geon-hee lost a lot of weight due to stress made this report last year."

The shared post contained information that the prosecution comprehensively reviewed the hospitalization certificate and past health checkup records of Professor Jeong Gyeong-sim of Dongyang University, Cho's wife, and concluded that "her health condition is not severe enough to withstand investigation and detention."

Cho raised his voice, saying, "Several media outlets harassed Professor Jeong by visiting Hospital A where she was admitted, so she was transferred to Hospital B. The legal team announced that they would delete the hospital name and doctor's name before submitting the documents to the prosecution. Then, this fact was immediately conveyed to the media and reported as if the certificate was fake."
