[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seok-jin] The second hearing of the injunction suspension case, in which Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol requested the suspension of the '2-month suspension' disciplinary action, concluded around 4:15 PM on the 24th. The court is reportedly planning to reach a decision within the day if possible.

The hearing, conducted by the Administrative Division 12 of the Seoul Administrative Court (Presiding Judge Hong Soon-wook), began at 3 PM and ended around 4:15 PM after 1 hour and 15 minutes.

After the hearing, Lee Seok-woong, a lawyer representing the Ministry of Justice, said, "The judge asked both sides about things he was curious about," and added, "It seemed both sides were well prepared." He continued, "The court said it would conclude today and make a decision as soon as possible, even within today."

Likewise, Lee Ok-hyung, another lawyer for the Ministry of Justice, said, "The court said it would deliver the decision today," and added, "I think the court has already made up its mind."

There was no obligation for the parties to attend the injunction suspension hearing, so neither Prosecutor General Yoon nor Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae appeared in court that day.

If the court grants the injunction, Prosecutor General Yoon will be able to immediately return to duty; if the request is dismissed, the 2-month suspension will remain in effect as is.
