[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] Jeong Se-gyun, former Prime Minister and presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, called the so-called 'accusation solicitation' allegations surrounding former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol "the Yoon Seok-yeol Gate, now the gates of hell have just opened," and insisted that the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Agency (Gong-su-cheo) should take charge of the investigation.

On the afternoon of the 8th, Jeong posted on his Facebook, saying, "The substance of the criminal allegations regarding the prosecution's solicitation of accusation documents is being revealed."

Jeong said, "The Telegram conversations between Kim Woong, a member of the People Power Party, and the whistleblower have been disclosed," adding, "The suspicion of involvement by a current prosecutor is being substantiated with concrete evidence."

He continued, "At today's press conference, Representative Kim Woong said, 'Circumstantially, it could be that I received the materials from Son Jun-sung and delivered them to the party.' This is truly a statement that brings to mind the word 'law manipulator' (beopkkuraji)," criticizing, "As he knows the law well, he has paved a way to evade responsibility."

Jeong emphasized, "But the truth can never be evaded," and added, "The truth revealed by Representative Kim Woong's remarks is that a current prosecutor, Son Jun-sung, the Investigation Information Policy Officer of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office and right-hand man of candidate Yoon Seok-yeol at the time, was involved."

Jeong also said, "This is a clear criminal act that should never be committed by a prosecution official," and raised his voice, "The purpose of the crime is to protect candidate Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife. The Yoon Seok-yeol faction at the Prosecutor General's Office privatized state authority for their own purposes. It is undeniable abuse of power."

Furthermore, Jeong urged, "The High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Agency must immediately investigate Prosecutor Son Jun-sung and the prosecution's solicitation crime," and called for Gong-su-cheo's investigation, saying, "They must clearly reveal whether Prosecutor General Yoon ordered the solicitation of accusations and the substantive truth of the prosecution's collusion with the opposition party at the time to attempt political manipulation before the general election."
