[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] Kim Yongtae, Supreme Council Member of the People Power Party, responded to Go Minjung, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, who stated that "President Moon Jae-in's real misjudgment was not COVID-19 but appointing Yoon Seok-yeol as Prosecutor General," by countering, "The real misjudgment was the strategic nomination of Go Minjung as a candidate."

On the 22nd, Kim Yongtae wrote on his Facebook, "Is President Moon Jae-in's misjudgment the appointment of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol? The real misjudgment might have been the strategic nomination of Go Minjung as a National Assembly candidate," he said.

He began by saying, "Thanks to Go's reckless remarks, it is actually beneficial for the People Power Party, but how frustrating it must be for the government and ruling party."

He continued, "Many citizens support candidate Yoon Seok-yeol based on the belief that he will restore the constitution and principles that the Moon Jae-in administration had undermined."

He added, "For reference, the person who informed the public about Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's appointment was none other than Go Minjung herself, who was serving as the Blue House spokesperson at the time," and "I would like to remind you of what Go Minjung said directly to the public back then."

According to the briefing shared by Kim from Go's time as Blue House spokesperson, Go announced Yoon Seok-yeol's appointment as Prosecutor General, introducing him as "a candidate who showed integrity by eradicating corruption and not yielding to external pressure during his tenure at the prosecution."

Go said, "Especially as the head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, he demonstrated outstanding leadership and reform will, successfully leading investigations into state affairs manipulation and clearing deep-rooted evils, earning strong trust not only within the prosecution but also among the public," and added, "We expect candidate Yoon to not only root out various remaining corruptions in our society but also excellently accomplish the tasks of prosecutorial reform and organizational renewal."

Earlier, on the 21st, candidate Yoon criticized at the National Assembly COVID-19 Emergency Countermeasures Meeting, saying, "The current COVID-19 response situation can be described as a national crisis level. It is a disaster caused by the misjudgment of the nation's highest decision-maker, the president."

In response, on the 22nd, Go Minjung rebutted on YTN Radio's 'Hwang Boseon's Start Morning,' stating, "President Moon Jae-in's real misjudgment was appointing candidate Yoon Seok-yeol as Prosecutor General."
