[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] On the 16th, Lee Won-seok, the newly appointed Prosecutor General, visited Seoul National Cemetery in Dongjak-gu, Seoul, to pay respects at the Memorial Tower.


Lee, the 12th case appointed without the National Assembly's confirmation report under the current administration, has sparked controversy as a figure classified as 'pro-Yoon' was appointed to the Prosecutor General position in a prosecution office already dominated by 'pro-Yoon' personnel.



The Democratic Party strongly criticized this, calling it the 'completion of the Prosecutorial Republic.'
