Minister Han continued, "We must work together to eliminate unreasonable systems and practices so that the prosecution can work properly and to upgrade the prosecution work system to a higher level," adding, "I ask all members to demonstrate leadership that respects diversity and communication to create a foundation where everyone can maximize their abilities."
