Yun Hojung: "Rental King Han Deoksoo, Legal Trickster Han Donghoon, Daddy's Chance Jeong Hoyoung... All Must Be Replaced"

"Democratic Party to Prepare Hearings for the People"
"Thoroughly Vetting Candidates from the People's Perspective... Legal Action if Serious Issues Found"
"If It Starts with Rotten Water, Corruption Lasts for Five Years"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] Yoon Ho-jung, Co-Chairman of the Emergency Response Committee of the Democratic Party of Korea, said on the 18th regarding the first cabinet appointments of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration, "The public, having seen the profiles of the candidates, is sighing in disappointment beyond just being let down," adding, "I hope all the nominees, including the Prime Minister candidate who is being called the 'King of Leasing,' 'King of Accumulation,' and 'King of Special Privileges,' the Minister of Justice candidate who is being called a 'password-refusing legal troublemaker,' and the Minister of Health and Welfare candidate who is benefiting from 'Dad's chance,' will all withdraw their nominations and be replaced with competent candidates."

At the Emergency Response Committee meeting held at the National Assembly that morning, Chairman Yoon directed these remarks at President-elect Yoon, who nominated Han Duck-soo as Prime Minister candidate, Han Dong-hoon as Minister of Justice candidate, and Jung Ho-young as Minister of Health and Welfare candidate.

He criticized, "Jung Ho-young, a 40-year close friend of President-elect Yoon, is a bottomless source of suspicions," and added, "Yesterday, he held a press conference to explain, but only offered excuses that do not satisfy public common sense at all. President-elect Yoon went further to defend his 40-year friend by saying, 'There must be definite facts of wrongdoing.'"

He continued, "This is the same as when he consistently denied allegations against himself, his wife, and mother-in-law during the presidential election, known as the 'headquarters chief' allegations," and pointed out, "When he was Prosecutor General, before the confirmation hearing of candidate Cho Kuk, there was a simultaneous raid conducted through the current Minister of Justice candidate Han Dong-hoon. I do not know where the cruel and ruthless standard of fairness that even seized a girl's diary has gone."

Chairman Yoon criticized, "The public outrage is growing over Yoon Seok-yeol's selective justice, which seems to say what was right then is wrong now."

He added, "The Democratic Party will prepare a confirmation hearing for the people," emphasizing, "We will thoroughly verify the candidates from the public's perspective, and if any serious issues are found, we will not hesitate to take legal action."

He concluded, "If you start with rotten water, corruption against the people will continue for five years, and the suffering will be solely borne by the people," urging, "I call for a responsible decision from President-elect Yoon."
