[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] Son Joon-sung, former Policy Officer for Investigation Information at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office (currently Human Rights Protection Officer at Daegu High Prosecutors' Office), a key figure in the so-called 'report solicitation' scandal involving allegations that the prosecution under former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol solicited complaints against ruling party figures, was captured on camera arriving at work on the 16th.

At around 7:45 a.m. that day, Prosecutor Son arrived at the Daegu High Prosecutors' Office wearing a dark navy suit without a tie and carrying a backpack.

Before entering the building entrance, he was asked whether he had prepared the complaint documents but did not respond. While walking inside the premises, Prosecutor Son appeared lost in thought, sometimes closing his eyes or lowering his head. This is the first time in two weeks that Prosecutor Son has been seen since the 'report solicitation' allegations surfaced.

Until now, Prosecutor Son had avoided public exposure by taking leave, using entrances other than the main gate of the Daegu Prosecutors' Office, and keeping the blinds down on his office windows throughout the day.

On the 14th, he issued a statement denying the allegations, saying, "I have never prepared complaint documents nor delivered complaint documents or attached materials to Kim Woong, a member of the People Power Party."
