Jung Jin-seok "Good, Let's Conduct a Yoon Administration Investigation... Lee Nak-yeon's 'Shocking' Remark Is Even More Shocking"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Jeong Jin-seok, the most senior member of the People Power Party, criticized Lee Nak-yeon, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, for proposing a parliamentary inquiry into Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, but responded, "Fine, let's do it."

On the 26th, Jeong said on Facebook, "Leader Lee mentioned pushing for a parliamentary inquiry, saying 'The charges against Prosecutor General Yoon revealed by the Ministry of Justice are shocking,' but to me, Leader Lee's statement that the unbelievable charges are shocking is even more shocking."

He then proposed accepting the ruling party's offer, saying, "Fine, let's have a parliamentary inquiry." Since the charges against Prosecutor General Yoon lack grounds, holding a parliamentary inquiry would rather be an opportunity to confirm his legitimacy.

Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the People Power Party, also said, "The reasons Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae claimed for excluding Prosecutor General Yoon from his duties have no basis, so even if Yoon appears at the parliamentary inquiry, it will not be disadvantageous," adding, "It will rather be a stage to expose Yoon's legitimacy and Minister Choo's problems," and said, "Even if the Democratic Party does not accept the 'Choo Mi-ae parliamentary inquiry,' the People Power Party should accept the Yoon Seok-yeol parliamentary inquiry."
