[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] On the 1st, Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the Future United Party, strongly criticized, saying, "Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae is acting like Yoon Seok-yeol's campaign headquarters chief by raising him while hitting Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol."

On the same day, Ha appeared as a daily host on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' and evaluated Minister Chu's recent criticism of Prosecutor General Yoon in this way.

Regarding Minister Chu's public criticism of Prosecutor General Yoon, he sarcastically said, "Isn't Minister Chu trying to become a successor like Kim Yo-jong?" and "She attacked Prosecutor General Yoon using a tone similar to Kim Yo-jong's, saying 'cutting corners,' a phrase used in North Korea."

He added, "Minister Chu wants to rise as a presidential candidate, but since it is not going well, her reactions are becoming increasingly intense."

Democratic Party member Kang Hoon-sik, who appeared together, retorted, "Isn't the opposition party the one who wants to raise him?" and said, "There is such a sense of problem."

In response, Ha said, "Who in the opposition party would want to raise him? They are competitors," and countered, "Prosecutor General Yoon seems to be a person whose consistency is very important, as he put former President Park Geun-hye in prison."

He continued, "He was very strict with the previous administration but lenient with the current administration? This seems unacceptable from his perspective," adding, "Power is power, whether it is that administration or this administration."

He then criticized Minister Chu's actions, saying, "If you keep hitting Yoon Seok-yeol in this situation, you are ultimately raising him," and "Doesn't Minister Chu look like Yoon Seok-yeol's campaign headquarters chief right now?"
