[Asia Economy Reporter Yang Nak-gyu] President Moon Jae-in said, "Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol has already gained the trust of the public in terms of so-called strict investigations and investigations that do not yield to power."

On the 14th, President Moon held a New Year's press conference at the Blue House State Guest House under the subtitle "Certain Change, Republic of Korea 2020," and said, "If (Prosecutor General Yoon) takes the lead in correcting parts such as the prosecutorial organizational culture and investigative practices that are being criticized by the public, I believe he will gain much more trust from the people."

This is President Moon's third New Year's press conference. Since he already delivered a New Year's address on the 7th this year, unlike previous years, the conference proceeded in a Q&A format after a brief opening remark of about three minutes without a separate New Year's address. The Q&A with reporters was divided into three topics?politics and society, livelihood and economy, and diplomacy and security?without pre-selecting questioners.
