[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daehyun] Jeon Jooncheol, head of the Anti-Corruption Investigation Division 1 at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, who submitted his resignation ahead of the prosecution personnel reshuffle, made a final request to the members to "fulfill the mission of the prosecution by standing on the side of justice and the weak, wiping away their tears."

On the 2nd, Chief Prosecutor Jeon left this resignation message on the prosecution's internal network, Epros.

Chief Prosecutor Jeon expressed his feelings, saying, "I apologize for leaving first during a difficult time for the prosecution," but also said, "It was a great honor for me to investigate rewarding and meaningful cases."
