Chungnam Governor Kim Tae-heum directly criticized Ahn Cheol-soo, a lawmaker who expressed support for the Chae Sang-byeong special prosecutor law, on the 27th, saying, "Don't do politics as a showy life."

On the same day, Governor Kim pointed out on SNS, "If there are shortcomings in the Yoon Seok-yeol administration's state affairs management, Ahn, who is the chairman of the presidential transition committee that set the national agenda and roadmap, is also responsible."

He continued, "Don't just chase the dream of becoming president without the ability, and self-reflection should come first," criticizing him.

Governor Kim said, "You talk about giving the highest honor to those who sacrificed their lives for the country and say that the Chae Sang-byeong special prosecutor should be appointed for conservative values, but does supporting the special prosecutor make you a righteous politician, and opposing it make you an unrighteous one?" He added, "You, who follow the opposition party that politically uses the special prosecutor like a madman trying to gain political presence, are worse." He repeatedly criticized him and said, "If you want to talk nonsense, leave the party."

Four current lawmakers of the People Power Party who expressed support for the Chae Sang-byeong special prosecutor are Ahn Cheol-soo, Kim Woong, Yoo Ui-dong, and Choi Jae-hyung. The Democratic Party plans to hold a re-vote on the Chae Sang-byeong special prosecutor law, which President Yoon Seok-yeol vetoed, at the plenary session on the 28th.
