[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Regarding the divided opinions within the Democratic Party of Korea over the impeachment of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, Kim Geun-sik, chairman of the People Power Party's Songpa district and professor at Gyeongnam National University, indirectly criticized by saying, "It can ensure the safety of President Moon Jae-in. You must push for impeachment."

On the 27th, Professor Kim said on Facebook, "Please make sure to push for the impeachment of Prosecutor General Yoon. If Kim Doo-kwan, Hwang Un-ha, Kim Nam-guk, and Kim Yong-min (Democratic Party lawmakers) take the lead and the Democratic Party unites tightly, it is definitely possible."

Professor Kim explained the progress so far, saying, "Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae announced the start of disciplinary action to suspend Prosecutor General Yoon from duty, and Yoon was sent home, but he returned after only seven days due to a court injunction. Then, the Ministry of Justice's disciplinary committee forcibly imposed a two-month suspension, sending Yoon home again, but he returned after nine days due to another court injunction."

He emphasized, "If the National Assembly impeaches Prosecutor General Yoon and sends him home, the Constitutional Court's dismissal of the impeachment will likely come only after Yoon's term ends, effectively depriving him of his term. Therefore, you must push for impeachment."

Professor Kim pointed out, "After the Constitutional Court's dismissal, support for Prosecutor General Yoon might soar vertically, but still, the allegations against lawmaker Kim Doo-kwan regarding the attempted coercion of Choi Sung-hae, president of Dongyang University, could be buried, as well as the manipulation of the Wolseong nuclear power plant, the Ulsan election manipulation case, and suspicions related to President Moon's abuse of power in Yoon's disciplinary action. It's definitely a worthwhile move."
