  Moon Jae-in's move is to cool down the conflict between the Democratic Party and the prosecution, and it may also be a signal to reconsider the unilateral push to abolish the prosecutor's investigation power legislative process.

  On the 17th, Kim Woo-soo delivered a speech against the ruling Democratic Party's proposal to completely deprive the prosecutor's investigation power of a bill, and proposed to resign.

  During the conversation, Kim Woo-soo expressed his deep apologies to all citizens and prosecutors for the contradictions and disputes surrounding the bill that completely strips prosecutors of their investigative powers.

He said that as the Attorney General, he should take responsibility for this and has tendered his resignation to the Minister of Justice.

  Jin Zhuozhu also said that he participated in the judicial reform after 70 years as a deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice in 2019. The prosecutor was designated as the adjustment object again just over a year later. At present, the legislative process to completely abolish the prosecutor's investigative power is in progress. .

As a member of judicial reform, I feel deeply responsible for the current situation.
