Among the 10 candidates nominated for the Ministry of Justice, Prosecutors Researcher Im Eun-jeong, who publicly rebelled against former President Yoon Suk-yeol and Acting President Nam-gwan Cho, and Prosecutor Han Dong-hoon, aide of former Chancellor Yoon who was relegated to the attempted attempt to force Channel A incident were included.



In order to avoid misunderstanding, the Ministry of Justice has handed over all the candidates who were selected as the national recommendation.



Among the active prosecutors, Acting President Cho Nam-gwan and Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office Lee Seong-yoon were recommended. Former Vice Minister Kim O-soo and former Busan High Prosecutors' Office were also recommended.



If the Committee for Recommendation of Candidate General, which is held this Thursday, is compressed to three or four of these, Justice Minister Park Bum-gye will select one and propose an appointment to the President.



Interest is whether or not Prosecutor Seong-yoon Lee, who has a clear pro-government orientation, will be selected as the final candidate for president.



Suwon District Prosecutor's Office, who investigated the District Prosecutor's Office due to suspicion of external pressure, has disclosed his opinion of the prosecution against him.



Prosecutor Lee also requested a judgment from the prosecution's external committee on whether the investigation against him was justified, and when and how the judgment will be made will be the biggest variable in the election of the president.



Minister Park Bum-gye, who was criticized for remarks that the prosecutor general should be correlated with the presidential philosophy of state affairs, showed a step back.



[Park Beom-gye/Minister of Justice: I will be very careful about the point (correlation with the presidential philosophy) that some media point out.] Since the



prosecutor general, who has been vacant for more than 50 days, has to undergo a personnel hearing even after his appointment, as early as the end of next month It looks like it will begin its official term.
