[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] On the 28th, Choo Mi-ae, Minister of Justice who has expressed her intention to resign, shared a post by Min Hyung-bae, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea advocating for the impeachment of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, on her YouTube account.


On the same day, Minister Choo shared a link to a column titled "Yoon Seok-yeol Impeachment, Backlash Will Not Come," written by Democratic Party member Min Hyung-bae for a media outlet, on her YouTube channel.


She then excerpted and wrote, "So far, I have advocated for two things: the complete separation of investigative and prosecutorial powers and the impeachment of Prosecutor General Yoon. There are considerable disagreements regarding the impeachment part. Some say that Prosecutor General Yoon alone is not the entirety of the conservative cartel, so there is no need to 'nurture' him."



She also quoted, "Impeachment is not a punishment against the natural person Prosecutor General Yoon. Impeachment is necessary because only by breaking the spearhead of the prosecution organization, which plays a central role in the conservative cartel, can the rational and efficient arrangement of the remaining tasks be possible."
