Jang Sung-min "Yoon Seok-yeol, Why Did You Turn a Blind Eye to Druking's Comment Manipulation Instead of Investigating?"

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Jang Sung-min, chairman of the World and Northeast Asia Peace Forum, who is mentioned as a presidential candidate from the opposition, raised the issue of former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's responsibility on the 26th in relation to the Druking comment manipulation case.

Chairman Jang stated through social networking services (SNS) regarding the 'Druking comment manipulation case', "Former Prosecutor General Yoon, who was responsible for the whole story of this case and emphasized liberal democracy so much, must explain why he did not uncover the full details of this case before the entire nation at that time," and criticized, "Why did Yoon Seok-yeol, who was serving as the head of the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office, turn a blind eye to this case?"

Chairman Jang pointed out, "How can one emphasize the separation of powers and the rule of law while turning a blind eye to such a tremendous incident that destroyed democracy in the Republic of Korea?"

He held former Prosecutor General Yoon accountable for the inadequate investigation in the form of a public inquiry. Chairman Jang argued, "As was pointed out during the National Assembly Legislation and Judiciary Committee's audit held on October 19, 2018, at the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office in Seocho-gu, the public deserves an answer as to whether such a tremendous national disgrace that destroyed democracy was not properly investigated."

He continued, "On April 18, 2018, when the floor leader of the Liberty Korea Party expressed the position that a special investigation headquarters led by Prosecutor Yoon Seok-yeol, a comment expert, should be formed for a swift and accurate investigation into the Druking comment manipulation case, why did he remain silent? He must clarify his position," and claimed, "He must explain whether the reason for neglecting the Druking investigation at that time was due to lack of evidence or because of watching the Blue House's mood."

In particular, Chairman Jang mentioned that Yoon Dae-jin, the first chief prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office who investigated the case at the time, had worked together with Kim Kyung-soo at the Roh Moo-hyun Blue House, and that Yoon Seok-yeol and Yoon Dae-jin were close friends, asking, "Did such relationships influence the case?"

Furthermore, Chairman Jang stated, "Election opinion manipulation undermines the fairness of elections and fundamentally damages the value of democracy, constituting an unforgivable crime that destroys the foundation of the nation," and argued, "The starting point of the Druking comment manipulation case was President Moon, and the end point was also President Moon. In fact, President Moon is the ultimate person responsible and must be seen as the main culprit of this case, which is my conclusion."
