[HOT Briefing] Sung-yoon Lee was eliminated as candidate for the Prosecutor General... A word from the Chairman of the Byun Association

It was a day like the story that a word from the President of the Korea Byeon Association changed the fate of Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office Lee Seong-yoon.

The Prosecutor General's Candidate Recommendation Committee was held, and District Attorney Seong-yoon Lee, who had been mentioned as the most promising candidate, did not make the final four candidates.

Before the recommendation committee was held, Lee Jong-yup, chairman of the Korean Byeon Association, publicly told reporters that District Prosecutor Lee Seong-yoon was not eligible.

Of course, there are 9 members of the nomination committee, so if the majority vote is decided, the vote of the president of the Korea Byeon Association is only one vote.

However, it is considered the reason for the elimination of Prosecutor Lee Seong-yoon that the analysis that if he is selected as the final candidate with the inviolability of Lee Seong-yoon publicly raised could put a considerable political burden on both the Minister of Justice and the Blue House after that.
