[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] Former Minister of Justice and Democratic Party presidential candidate Chu Mi-ae criticized former Prosecutor General and People Power Party presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, who said, "Under the Yoon Seok-yeol administration, there will be no Cho Kuk, no Druking, no Kim Kyung-soo, and no Chu Mi-ae," by saying he only talks about noisy dreams.

On the 26th, Chu appeared on JTBC's Ssuljeon Live and said, "I wonder if I appear in (Yoon's) dreams. Instead of a vision, he only talks about noisy dreams, so I wonder how long this state will last."

Regarding the conflict with Yoon over investigation and personnel issues during her tenure as minister, she said, "(Yoon) is the first Prosecutor General in constitutional history to have been ordered to direct investigations twice, and since I was the one who directed those, I believe I appear even in his dreams," adding, "He will probably wake up from a nightmare."

She continued, "He says he won't participate in TV debates and only makes presentations like a school play. He won't properly make it to the final election anyway," claiming that the media has overly promoted Yoon.

Chu also seemed to target People Power Party lawmaker Yoon Hee-sook, who declared her resignation amid allegations of land speculation involving her father, saying, "If the prosecution treats this as opposition party power, speculators will think they have a free pass, and the speculation market will grow even larger."

She added, "If judicial justice is not served, it grants impunity to fraudsters, leading to cheating and monopolies in the real estate market," emphasizing, "Therefore, prosecutorial reform is absolutely necessary for the livelihood of the people."
