The second prosecutor and disciplinary committee of the Ministry of Justice is currently in progress against Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol.
We will connect reporters to find out more about the news.
Reporter Hong Young-jae, how is the afternoon meeting going?
<Reporter>
Yes, 6 out of 8 witnesses were present at today's (15th) disciplinary committee meeting, and it is said that two witnesses, including Sohn Jun-sung, the chief prosecutor's chief investigator, were interrogated.
The disciplinary committee decides whether or not to make a final statement after the witness interrogation, but the Ministry of Justice predicts that it will be concluded within today.
In some cases, the witness interrogation scheduled for today was canceled.
On the 10th, the disciplinary committee canceled the testimony of the witness against the prosecutor's office of the Ministry of Justice Shim Jae-cheol, a witness that was adopted ex officio on the 10th.
President Yoon was absent today, and attorney Wan-kyu Lee, a special attorney, said that Yoon asked him to do his best today.
Chairman Jeong Han-jung said in a meeting with the reporters earlier that "the responsibility for proving the charges of President Yoon rests with the Minister of Justice." "I will only know if a disciplinary decision will take place today."

Reporter Hong and General Yoon said that they are applying to evade the disciplinary committee. What was the result?
<Reporter>
Yes, it is.
It is reported that the President Yoon's side has applied for refusal against Chairman Jeong Han-jung and Shin Sung-sik, the chief prosecutor of anti-corruption.
However, it is known that the disciplinary committee dismissed them altogether.
In the case of Chairman Chung's first disciplinary committee date on the 10th, Mr. Yoon's reason for the refusal is that he was concerned about fairness because he made a prediction about his political neutrality.
General Yoon's position is that anti-corruption chief Shin Seong-sik, who is concerned with the Channel A case, has applied for a refusal because he believes there is a risk of impairing fairness.
It is expected that the disciplinary action of President Yoon Suk-yeol will be decided during the day, depending on the progress of the afternoon disciplinary committee meeting.
