The conflict between the Attorney General and the Attorney General Chu Mi-ae reached the peak over the suspicion of'adaptation of prosecution', involving the prosecutor Yoon Seok-yeol's closest aide, leading to a controversy over the issue of the Minister's investigation.

However, interest is growing as the problem-proclaimed president has said in the past that it was desirable in the sense that a written act by the Minister of Justice to conduct investigations is legal and transparent.

In a book titled'Moon Jae-in, Thinking about the Prosecution of Kim In-hoe', published in 2011, President Moon and Prof. In-ho Kim, Graduate School of Law, Inha University emphasized the meaning and necessity of prosecution reform.

This book covers the case of Prosecutor General Kim Jong-bin's resignation in 2005 when the prosecution's independence was undermined by the prosecution's right to investigate.

At that time, the former Minister of Chun exercised the command of investigation to prosecute Professor Dongguk University of Gangguk-gu, accused of remarks of the'unification war on the June 25th,' but President Moon was notified of the fact that the Minister officially initiated the investigation in writing. Has given meaning.

In the book, Moon said the minister's investigation into the prosecutor's office was "always on," and the problem was "being private in a closed room."

He said, “I have shown that I am not doing this now.”

The book also quotes former chief prosecutor Lim Chae-jin's monthly interview, saying that there was often an investigation conducted by the minister, even before and after Professor Kang Jeong-gu's case.

He also stressed that "the prosecution is an administrative institution and in order to receive democratic control, it must be under the leadership of political power represented by the Minister of Justice."

Choo's act of investigating the command of the investigation came from the'adherence of probation' case.

It is a suspicion that former reporter Lee Dong-jae of Channel A threatened to report the corruption of Yu Shi-min, the chairman of the labor affairs group, with the prosecutor Han Dong-hoon, during a report on the suspicion of Shinragen against former CEO of Value Invest Korea (VIK) earlier this year.

Due to the fact that the prosecutor involved in the case is Yoon's closest, the controversy continues over whether President Yun's convening a professional investigative advisory group is to provide a justification for the investigation.
