[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] Former Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae posted a composite photo on social media showing her holding a switch and hitting the calf of Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate.


Kim Seong-hoe, spokesperson for the Open Democratic Party, said on his Facebook on the 7th, addressing candidate Yoon, "Nothing can be resolved through corporal punishment." This was a criticism of Yoon's earlier remark that "when I was a university student, I was sometimes hit by my father for staying out late."


Subsequently, former Minister Chu uploaded a photo to the post and commented herself. In the photo, Chu, dressed in hanbok, is holding a switch, while Yoon, with a daenggi hairstyle, has his clothes rolled up to his calves and is being hit.


Regarding this, former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon sarcastically said, "The innocent desire to hit Yoon Seok-yeol is expressed in a charming way. Why is this person so childish?"



Meanwhile, former Minister Chu announced her intention to resign after conflicts with Yoon, who was then Prosecutor General, over prosecutorial reform during her tenure as Minister of Justice.
