Kwak Gyu-taek, a member of the ruling People's Power Party, said, "I'm not sure about the background of the establishment of the Public Prosecutor's Office, the amount of work calculated against the budget, and the bias in the investigation."
Considering the nature of the case, the existence of the institution is questionable. Four cases have been prosecuted during this time. One case is prosecuted per year, and the budget is 20 billion won (approximately 2.2 billion yen).
"It would be better to create a drug investigation agency," he said. "The Democratic Party seems to want the Public Prosecutors' Office not to investigate, as they are trying to make a case for a special prosecutor (for Kim Jong Un)," he said, accusing Oh Dong Woon of being a troll.
He also questioned the head of the prosecution office, Oh Dong-un, saying, "Are you in a collaborative relationship with the Democratic Party of Korea?" Rep. Park Jun-tae of the Democratic Party also said, "Last year, the prosecution office received 2,400 cases, but brought zero charges.
"Since it began full-scale operations in March 2022, it has indicted only four of a total of 6,007 cases. It's time to abolish the public prosecutors' office, which has been at the center of constant controversy," he said.
Rep. Yoo Sang-beom said, "I heard that the Public Prosecutor's Office is the 'Democratic Party High Commissioner's Office. But what the Public Prosecutor's Office showed was an incompetent investigation. The only thing they're good at is investigating.
On the other hand, Lee Seong-yoon, a member of the Democratic Party, criticized, "It is time for the Public Prosecutors' Office to step in decisively. We will set up a 'special investigation team for Kim Kun-hee's wife' and investigate her at the Yongsan National Assembly.
"They say that Mrs. Kim has given up ownership of the designer bag, but from the perspective of the Air Transport Agency, the designer bag is not a payment for bribery," said Lee Geon-tae, a lawmaker from the same party.
"If they are not seized until the prosecution disposes of them, it is the responsibility of the head of the Air Transport Agency," he said.
The core of the story is President Yoon Seok-yeol's personal debt of 360 million won (about 39.61 million yen) that he owed to Min.
If he received the investigation as a bribe and gave his endorsement (to People's Power lawmaker Kim Young-sun), this constitutes a crime of 'improper treatment after accepting bribery,'" he argued.
