[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] Son Joon-sung, the Human Rights Protection Officer at Daegu High Prosecutors' Office, who was identified as the person who delivered documents instructing opposition party figures to file complaints against ruling party politicians while serving as the Chief of the Investigation Information Policy Division at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office during former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's tenure, has not been coming to work for several days.

According to the legal community including Daegu High Prosecutors' Office on the 6th, Son took a leave of absence that day. He also took leave for personal reasons and did not come to work on the 3rd.

Son has emerged as a key figure in the allegations of former Prosecutor General Yoon's 'complaint solicitation.' According to internet media 'Newsbus' and others, Son is reported to have repeatedly delivered complaints against ruling party figures to Kim Woong, then a member of the United Future Party (currently a member of the People Power Party), through various channels ahead of the April 21st general election last year while working at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, sparking controversy.

Son denied these allegations, stating, "I have no knowledge of this, so there is nothing to explain."

Meanwhile, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office appears to be accelerating its fact-finding investigation into former Prosecutor General Yoon's 'complaint solicitation' allegations. On the 3rd, they secured the PC used by Son and are reviewing its contents. They also plan to examine Son's mobile phone, laptop, and other devices later. After reviewing the materials, there is a possibility that Son will be summoned for questioning.
