That afternoon, Speaker Park met with Prosecutor General Kim at the National Assembly main building and advised, "Power and authority should not be used simply because they are given, but must be exercised with restraint," emphasizing the prosecution's authority.

He said, "I have been thinking about whether the prosecution has appropriately exercised the authority given so far," and added, "Especially from the perspective of the people's human rights, I believe some changes in organizational culture are necessary."

Speaker Park emphasized, "I hope you leave a new record in history as a Prosecutor General trusted by the people, with leadership that meets the demands of the era for a people's prosecution," and added, "Cooperation among investigative agencies is also extremely important, and at the center of that is the common denominator of the people's human rights."

In response, Prosecutor General Kim said, "I will keep your words in mind and aim to make the prosecution organization people-centered, carrying out work with the people at the center," and added, "I will do my best to ensure the prosecution is centered on the people."

Furthermore, he said, "I am well aware that the people's expectations are high," and added, "I will lead the prosecution well and communicate effectively with the members inside the prosecution so that the people feel at ease and the prosecution can perform its original role well, ensuring that the public does not worry."
