[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Jeong-wan] Go Min-jung, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, referred to Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, as the "icon of betrayal," saying she wants to "erase entirely July 16, 2019," the day he was appointed Prosecutor General.

On the 21st, Go posted on her Facebook under the title "Yoon Seok-yeol, the Icon of Betrayal," stating, "A briefing video of Yoon Seok-yeol's appointment as Prosecutor General during his time as Blue House spokesperson is circulating. The title is 'Go Min-jung's declaration of support for Yoon Seok-yeol,' falsely spreading the notion that 'Assemblywoman Go Min-jung' supports 'People Power Party presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol.'"

Go said, "July 16, 2019, was the day the appointment of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol was approved and briefed," adding, "Both the creators and distributors of the video will face legal procedures."

She continued, "At that time, I believed he was someone who had eradicated corruption and would complete prosecutorial reform," but "that belief turned into betrayal, soaked in lies and hypocrisy."

She went on, "I thought he had eradicated corruption, but he was the '#head of corruption.' From Kim Kun-hee's stock manipulation of Deutsch Motors, his mother-in-law's forged bank account balances, his own lenient investigations, to election interference through complaint instigation," adding, "He pretends to be a reform-minded prosecutor on the surface, but in reality, he is a coward who covers up his own faults completely for personal advancement."

Furthermore, she said, "Yoon Seok-yeol not only lies to the Moon Jae-in administration that trusted him but also betrays by stabbing them in the back, declaring he will investigate the current government as a deep-rooted evil," emphasizing, "I too was deceived by his lies and am appalled by his acts of betrayal."
