[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Choyoung] As Shin Hyun-soo, Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs at the Blue House, has tendered his resignation, Jang Je-won, a member of the People Power Party, said on the 21st, "The Moon Jae-in administration is turning from a dysfunctional family into a chaotic mess," adding, "Soon, the full story of the incident will be revealed to the world by the Blue House insiders. It will show who the de facto Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs is and who is manipulating the Blue House."

On the same day, Jang criticized on his Facebook post, "The former Minister of Justice fought with the Prosecutor General throughout his tenure, and now the new Minister of Justice is fighting with the Blue House Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs," pointing out the situation.

He raised doubts, saying, "The truth behind the prosecution personnel turmoil will not end here," and "Whether there was a control tower outside the Blue House manipulating state affairs, or if Minister Park did not collude with personnel inside the Blue House, these events could never have happened."

He continued, "President, do not hide behind the scenes. Before it is too late, the President must personally come forward to thoroughly explain the reality of the prosecution personnel turmoil to the public and immediately dismiss the traitors manipulating state affairs, including Minister of Justice Park Beom-gye, and restore government discipline," urging President Moon to explain directly.

Furthermore, he claimed, "If not, it means the President has lost the power to stop the traitors' manipulation of state affairs," and "Or, it can only be seen as the President condoning and abetting this."
