[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who began a long vacation, sought advice from former Prime Minister Chung Hong-won on the first day of his break.

On the morning of the 5th, around 10:30 AM, Yoon visited the office of former Prime Minister Chung, located near his residence in Seocho-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, and had a conversation lasting about an hour. It is reported that the two discussed various social issues that day.

Former Prime Minister Chung reportedly told Yoon, "I hope you will normalize this abnormal country where the constitution is being destroyed and ideology dominates, and alleviate the suffering of the people," adding, "Please create a warm country where people share and care for each other."

Chung served as Prime Minister from 2013 to 2015 during the Park Geun-hye administration. Having also served as head of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office's Central Investigation Department, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office's Special Investigation Department, and the Judicial Research and Training Institute, he is a senior prosecutor to Yoon.

Starting from that day until the 8th, Yoon is taking a vacation and has suspended all official schedules. A camp official from Yoon's side said, "Since starting as a politician for the first time, he has been running nonstop for a month and a half, during which there have been various changes, criticisms, and encouragements," adding, "He plans to take a short break and decide on the direction for the future."
