Earlier, after the Ministry of Justice suspended former Prosecutor General Yoon from duty at the end of last year and subsequently imposed a two-month suspension, Yoon filed a motion for a stay of execution with the court, which resulted in a suspension of the disciplinary action’s effect, and also filed a main lawsuit seeking cancellation of the disciplinary measures. In December of last year, the court sent a copy of the complaint and lawsuit guidance documents to the Ministry of Justice, but when the Ministry failed to submit a written response, the court issued an order on the 9th requesting the Ministry to clarify its position.
