Kim Min-seok, leader of the Democratic Party, has directed the party to take legal action and establish measures in response to various allegations raised by independent lawmaker Han Dong-hoon against Kim Seung-won, the nominee for Minister of Justice. He also stated that he would refer to Han as 'Chosun's Bad Prosecutor' instead of 'Chosun's Best.'
During a party meeting held at the Jeonbuk Provincial Office on the morning of September 9, Kim noted, "The issues surrounding the nominee will be treated as a separate matter from the confirmation hearing, and we will take action at the party level against Han."
Kim emphasized that the allegations against the nominee, which Han has been exposing, will lead to a process of reforming the political prosecution system. He warned, "I believe that many of Han's claims could not have occurred without collaborators within the prosecution. We will thoroughly investigate the truth and take legal action against anyone involved in leaking information."
He added, "I ask the party members, including Han Min-soo and Jeon Yong-ki, who pointed out Han during the meeting, as well as the spokespersons and, if necessary, the personnel from the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee, to prepare to track Han and take legal action separately from the nominee's confirmation hearing." He assessed that Han has begun to stab the last knife into the political prosecution he once thrived in.
Furthermore, Kim remarked that Han's obsession with the title 'Chosun's Best Prosecutor' is notable, suggesting, "It might be more accurate to call him 'Chosun's Bad Prosecutor' or 'Chosun's Bad Scissors.'"
