Former prosecutor Lee Bok-hyeon, the so-called 'Yun Seok-yeol division', was appointed as the new director of the Financial Supervisory Service, which oversees financial institutions.

This is the first time the head of the Financial Supervisory Service is a former prosecutor, but there are constant criticisms of the 'prosecution bias'.

Lee Bok-hyeon, a former chief prosecutor appointed by President Yoon Seok-yeol as the head of the Financial Supervisory Service, graduated from Seoul National University's economics department and is an expert in corporate and financial crime investigations who passed both the CPA exam and the bar exam.

He is counted as the so-called 'Yoon Seok-Yeol Division' who worked with President Yoon to investigate the NIS comments and the National Nongdan Special Prosecutor's Office.

In April, the Democratic Party left the prosecution in protest against the adoption of the so-called "Endication of Inspection Bill" as part of the amendment bill to the Prosecutor's Office Act and the Criminal Procedure Act.

In his inaugural address, Lee foretold the withdrawal of financial market disruptors.

[Lee Bok-hyeon/Director of the Financial Supervisory Service: I feel a heavy responsibility as I take on a heavy responsibility as the head of the Financial Supervisory Service in a difficult and important time.

As before, strict standards must be applied for acts of disrupting the market.]

The Democratic Party slammed it as an endlessly repeated 'prosecution bias'.

[Cho Oh-seop / Democratic Party Spokesperson: Is the prosecution a competent all-rounder in all institutions and duties?

If you're not from the prosecution, I'd like to ask if a competent person in Korea has a dry seed.]

Just as in the Moon Jae-in administration, a large number of people from the Minbyun or Participation Solidarity were hired, under the Yun Seok-yeol administration, there are constant criticisms that former prosecutors hold key positions, but President Yoon did not agree.

[President Seok-Yeol Yoon: Our personnel principle is to use competent people in the right place.] A

high-ranking official in the presidential office did not appoint President Lee for personal reasons, but will send someone with proven driving force and ability to reform the FSS. explained.
