[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Kim Yongmin, a member of the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee from the Democratic Party of Korea, stated on the 24th regarding Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae's order to suspend Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, "Prosecutors must be punished if they commit wrongdoing," adding, "The Prosecutor General is no exception."
On the afternoon of the same day, Representative Kim said through Facebook, "Prosecutors must be punished and disciplined if they commit wrongdoing. This is common sense."
He emphasized, "The Prosecutor General is no exception. This is the minimum duty to the sovereign. It is ironic that Prosecutor General Yoon, who thought he was above the law, responded by saying he would take legal action."
