[Asia Economy, Reporter Bae Kyunghwan] Cho Seongeun, who reported the "indictment-for-political-gain" allegation, has filed a criminal complaint with the prosecution against Kim Woong, a member of the People Power Party, and former Prosecutor General Yoon Seokyoul.

According to legal sources on September 23, Cho submitted the complaint to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office that afternoon. It is reported that the complaint accuses both individuals of defaming and insulting her through press conferences and other public statements.

In particular, Cho added a charge of intimidation against former Prosecutor General Yoon, claiming that he effectively made threatening remarks about her during a press conference.

Meanwhile, Cho also plans to file a complaint soon with the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) against Kim Gi-hyeon, floor leader of the People Power Party, as well as lawmakers Kwon Seongdong and Jang Jewon. This is in response to their allegations that National Intelligence Service Director Park Jie-won was behind her whistleblowing, and their references to her as the "second Yoon Jio."
