[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Kim Min-seok, Chief Headquarters Director of the Democratic Party of Korea's Election Countermeasures Committee, appealed on the 30th, "Please stop the regent state corruption disguised as legality by the president's closest aides and the political prosecution rule." Kim said, "Even the four metropolitan mayors are in a critical situation where they could be shaken at any moment," adding, "At this point, what matters is not how many places the Democratic Party wins, but that we must definitely prevent the People Power Party's landslide victory."

On the same day, Kim held an emergency press briefing at the National Assembly, saying, "Our concerns have become reality," and stated, "The prosecution and public appointments have been seized by the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice has been seized by political prosecutors, and the Minister of Justice, who controls appointments and information, has become an extralegal power stronger than the intelligence chief, chief secretary, and security chief during the Park Chung-hee era. The president's family and senior aides, by breaking President Yoon Seok-yeol's pledge to appoint an inspector general, have enjoyed unlimited freedom under the protection of the extralegal, imperialistic Ministry of Justice, or the 'Hwangmu-bu'."

He said, "I recall the desperate sense of crisis of the late President Kim Dae-jung, who foresaw the advent of a totalitarian system if he lost the presidential election in 1972, and I earnestly appeal, 'Please stop the terrifying second state corruption.'"

Kim said, "Now is the time to clearly warn about the entire state affairs after this election rather than worrying about one or two additional seats won or lost in the election," adding, "If we continue like this and give wings without brakes, the greatest beneficiaries of those wings will be the Ministry of Justice in governance and the Ministry of Economy and Finance in the economy."

He asked, "Who is truly the final person responsible for COVID-19 livelihood, prices, security, interest rates, and appointments? Does President Yoon, who was elected by the people after such fierce debate, truly believe or understand the decisions he is currently making? If the Ministry of Economy and Finance governs the economy and the 'Hwangmu-bu,' not the Ministry of Justice, governs the country, then this nation will no longer be a country of the people but a country of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the 'Hwangmu-bu,' and the president's close aides and family."

Kim raised his voice, saying, "Is the 'Hwangmu-bu' destroying the rule of law and, as protector of the president's close aides and family and even as verifier of constitutional court judges, trying to seize the constitutional court's judicial power related to prosecution reform in advance to neutralize its edge? Is this the greatest delusional regent state corruption attempt since the founding of the nation that you want to cooperate with?"

He said, "If this continues, a terrifying deception and propaganda that may lead to the dream of a successor from the prosecution or a successor from the spouse of the current government will begin," and urged, "Please create at least a minimum balance."
