Minister Park made this remark in response to a question from Democratic Party lawmaker Baek Hye-ryun during the political sector government questioning session held at the National Assembly that afternoon. Regarding the retention of Prosecutor Son Jun-sung as the head of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office's Investigation Information Policy Division, Park said, "I did not personally receive a request to retain him from the (prosecutor) general, but I recall that such a message was conveyed," revealing that the Supreme Prosecutors' Office had made the request.
Minister Park then refuted former Prosecutor General Yoon's claim that Prosecutor Son was "a person of former Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae," stating, "The relationship between former (Yoon Seok-yeol) Prosecutor General and Prosecutor Son was very special." However, when asked about the nature of their relationship, he replied, "There are various grounds to support that, but it seems inappropriate to disclose them at this time."

When Baek asked about the People Power Party submitting complaints against ruling party figures to the Supreme Prosecutors' Office during the general election, questioning, "In cases received by the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, since the office determines the jurisdictional prosecution office, doesn't that mean the Supreme Prosecutors' Office can control who investigates?" Park responded, "That is correct."
