[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] Former Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae commented on former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, saying "Almost all the pheasants have been caught."

Former Minister Choo appeared on YTN Radio's 'Hwang Bo-seon's Start of a New Morning' on the 5th. At that time, she was asked about the approval ratings of Yoon, who joined the People Power Party at the end of last month, and she assessed, "It seems the approval rating has risen a bit now, but it is a temporary phenomenon."

She continued, "(Yoon's remarks) have led to several mistakes and revealed problems," adding, "If a fair verification is conducted like with other candidates, the fluctuation in approval ratings will ultimately be a matter of time." When asked by the host whether she expected Yoon to fail the verification process, she pointed out, "Of course. The media has promoted an underqualified, hastily assembled candidate who is unprepared."

Former Minister Choo also said, "I once led an investigation and requested disciplinary action against Yoon. Various misconducts could also be revealed through investigations," adding, "Even before that, if the media continues its coverage, issues will be highlighted. Public opinion may form that the country cannot be entrusted to such a candidate."

Furthermore, regarding Yoon's controversial remarks on 'healthy feminism' and 'junk food,' she criticized, "Saying feminism is the cause of low birth rates and that poor people should at least have the freedom to eat junk food are both statements that do not consider the vulnerable as subjects of protection. It's outrageous."
