The ruling and opposition parties responded oppositely to the court citing the request for the suspension of the execution of disciplinary action by Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol.
In a commentary immediately after the court's decision, the Democratic Party said, "We express our deep regrets," and said, "We are concerned that it will undermine the stability of the administration and lead to distrust of the judiciary and intensify the division of national opinion."
On the other hand, the power of the people welcomed the court's judgment as "like a Christmas gift," saying, "The upright court judgment prevented the prosecution of the prosecution's deformity in the prosecution reform mask."
