[Breaking] President Lee Won-seok: "Personnel matters are personnel matters, investigations are investigations"... No disruption expected in Mrs. Kim's investigation

Prosecutor General Lee Won-seok stated on the 14th, "Personnel matters are personnel matters, and investigations are investigations," expressing that even if the investigation leadership is replaced, there will be no disruption to the investigation into First Lady Kim Geon-hee.

On his way to work that morning, when asked by reporters whether the investigation policy on First Lady Kim Geon-hee had been stalled, Lee responded, "No matter which chief prosecutor comes, the investigation team will work together in agreement and conduct the investigation strictly according to evidence and legal principles without any other considerations."

He added, "I trust our prosecutors, the investigation team," and reiterated, "Personnel matters are personnel matters, and investigations are investigations."

However, when asked whether the investigation into the First Lady would be completed within his term, Lee avoided a direct answer, saying, "As Prosecutor General and a public official, I will fulfill the duties and responsibilities assigned to me. Nothing more, nothing less."
