, ‘Jin Joong-kwon, a special professor at Kwangwoon University, criticized the non-public summons of Kim Geon-hee, the wife of President Yoon Suk-yeol, saying, “I don’t know why you keep leaving unnecessary military language like this every time.”‘,
,
, ‘Professor Jin stated on his Facebook on the 21st, “It is positive that she finally cooperated with the investigation.” He claimed, “The habit of turning a small case into a large-scale issue that cannot be stopped with even a hoe or a shovel is still not corrected.”‘,
,
, ‘Regarding the belated investigation report on the Prosecutor General, he said, “This is already the second time after the last change of the investigative team, and the place where the investigation took place was a third location, not the Prosecutor’s Office. Is it necessary to play a tug-of-war over the location for a non-public investigation?”‘,
,
, ‘He added, “I don’t know why you keep leaving unnecessary military language like this every time,” and said, “The more you do, the more suspicions like ‘is there something behind this?’ will escalate.”‘,
,
, ‘Previously, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office investigative team summoned Kim, the President’s wife, to the Government Security Office within the jurisdiction of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office on the 20th for a face-to-face investigation regarding her involvement in alleged Doimotors stock manipulation and luxury handbag gift cases. However, controversy arose when it was revealed that the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office did not report this fact to the Prosecutor General in advance and only informed him about the investigation after about 10 hours of starting it.’,
,
, ‘On the 21st, the Prosecutor’s Office expressed displeasure, stating, “Neither the Prosecutor General nor any senior officials at the Prosecutor’s Office were informed about the process of investigating Kim.” The Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office’s stance is that there was an unavoidable aspect in investigating the Doimotors-related case excluding the Prosecutor General’s investigative authority.’,
,
, ‘Prosecutor General Lee Won-seok apologized on the 22nd, stating, “It was a violation of principles that the investigative team investigated Kim at a third location, while I have always emphasized that there are no exceptions, privileges, or sacred places under our law. However, in the process of investigating the President’s wife, these principles were not followed, and in the end, we failed to keep our promise to the people.”‘,
,
, ‘He emphasized, “Although I did not receive any reports from the front-line Prosecutor’s Office, it is all my responsibility for not leading the front-line Prosecutor’s Office properly,” and said, “I deeply apologize to the people.”‘,
