Yoon Seok-yeol Announces Position on Resignation Rumors at 2 PM (Update)

[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol will directly address rumors about his resignation.

On the 4th, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office stated, "Prosecutor General Yoon will make a statement at 2 p.m. today at the entrance of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office," adding, "Since Yoon is preparing the content himself, it cannot be confirmed at this time."

Meanwhile, Yoon took a day off in the morning. The day before, he visited the Daegu High Prosecutors' Office and met with reporters, strongly criticizing the ruling Democratic Party's legislative move to establish the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials by saying, "The so-called 'Geomsu Wanbak' (complete removal of prosecutorial investigative authority) currently underway is actually 'Bupae Wanpan' (complete spread of corruption) that allows corruption to run rampant."
