[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] Jeong Cheong-rae, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who mentioned he would "stake his position" regarding the establishment of the Serious Crime Investigation Agency, saying, "Yoon Seok-yeol's reckless behavior has also entered a downhill path."

On the 3rd, Jeong posted on his Facebook, "Those who follow the heavens (Suncheonja, 順天者) prosper, and those who go against the heavens (Yeokcheonja, 逆天者) perish," adding, "This is the principle of the world and the natural order." This is a phrase from the Myeongshim Bogam, meaning that those who follow the will of heaven prosper, and those who defy it perish.

He continued, "The image of someone wielding absolute power like Jo Jaryong's sword with a blade borrowed for just two years is vivid," emphasizing, "This is a country where even the president can be impeached. Everyone is equal before the law." Here, the two years refer to Prosecutor General Yoon's term in office.

He added, "It's fine to dine and dash, but the debt must eventually be paid." Shortly after, Jeong posted another article titled "Passionate Battle," using expressions such as "Im Eun-jeong wins and Yoon Seok-yeol loses," and "Yoon Seok-yeol is the setting sun, Im Eun-jeong is the rising sun." He concluded by wishing "good luck to Prosecutor Im Eun-jeong."
