[Asia Economy, reporter Lee Hyunju] Representative Joo Ho-young, who is running for the People Power Party leadership election, stated on June 10, 2021, "The more the Moon Jae-in administration tries to bring down former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl, the greater the public resistance will become."


On this day, through his Facebook page, Representative Joo said, "It is precisely the Moon Jae-in administration that has elevated former Prosecutor General Yoon to become a leading opposition presidential candidate," making this point clear.


He emphasized, "Now it has become glaringly obvious why the government and the ruling party pushed ahead with the launch of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO), even stripping the opposition of its veto power. As expected, I cannot help but be outraged to see the CIO being wielded like a sword at the government's command, targeting Yoon Seok-youl."



He added, "It is obvious that the abuse of power will ultimately come back to the Moon Jae-in administration like a boomerang."
