[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgi Kim] Namguk Kim, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, pointed out that "a leaf fell and a citizen almost slipped" on the wreath supporting Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol raised in front of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in Seocho-gu, Seoul. In response, Professor Seomin from Dankook University College of Medicine sarcastically criticized, saying, "Leaves are this dangerous."

On the 29th, Professor Seo wrote on his Facebook, "According to lawmaker Namguk Kim, who is 'landscaping,' a leaf fell from the wreath sent by supporters of Prosecutor General Yoon, and a citizen who stepped on it almost got seriously injured," he said.

Earlier, Kim posted on his Facebook the day before, "I received a report from a citizen saying, 'While passing in front of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in Seocho-dong, I almost slipped after stepping on a leaf that had fallen from a wreath.' This is not just an inconvenience to walking but poses a risk of accidents caused by slipping on fallen leaves," he claimed.

In response, Professor Seo sarcastically remarked again, "A ban on going out in November is necessary. In November, when fallen leaves drop like mushrooms after rain, it is expected that an unimaginable number of injuries will occur due to this. The government should designate November as a fallen leaf hazard period and completely ban citizens from going out," he urged.

Meanwhile, currently, more than 300 wreaths are lined up along the road from the main gate of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office to the Supreme Court and Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office. In response, Seocho-gu sent administrative execution warning letters to the conservative groups 'Patriotic Patrol Team' and 'Freedom Solidarity,' announcing that the wreaths will be removed for reasons such as "interfering with urban aesthetics and maintaining public morals."
