[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Cho] On the 28th, Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae said, "I sincerely apologize once again for causing concern to the public due to baseless and indiscriminate political attacks against my son."
In a message delivered to the press corps through the Ministry of Justice that afternoon, Minister Choo stated, "The allegations related to my son, which began with my term as minister, were today cleared by the prosecution with no charges."
Minister Choo added, "I hope that the conclusion of this investigation will prevent further loss of national strength and allow us to move away from unnecessary political strife to focus on prosecutorial reform and pressing public issues." She continued, "I will devote myself to completing prosecutorial reform through the prompt launch of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials and the reform of investigative authority."
