While the Democratic Party is leaning toward a bill that completely strips the prosecution's investigative powers, the prosecution has made an official statement against it.
At a meeting of the chief prosecutors held yesterday (11th), opinions were gathered against it, and Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo swore that he would not be involved in the post.

Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo, who expressed his opposition to the 'complete inspection' bill through the Supreme Prosecutor's Office on the 8th, said at a meeting of prosecutors across the country that if the investigation function was abolished, he would not dwell on his position.
[Kim Oh-soo / Prosecutor General: If the prosecutor's investigation function is abolished, as the Prosecutor General, there is no point in performing my duties any longer.
I will not be directly involved.]
In a meeting that lasted more than 7 hours with lunch as a lunch box, the chiefs of the District Prosecutors' Office officially opposed the abolition of the investigative authority.
[Kim Hu-gon / Chief Prosecutor of Daegu: If a bill to abolish
the prosecution's investigation function without specific alternatives is rushed forward, the damage will go to the people.]
He also said that he is aware of the problems such as confusion and inconvenience to the public due to the delay in handling the case.
He also asked the National Assembly to form a 'special committee to improve the criminal justice system' to come up with a rational improvement plan.
There were two agendas known before the meeting: a response to 'close inspection' and a way to secure the fairness and neutrality of the prosecution's investigation.
The opposition of the entire organization, led by the Prosecutor General, is at its peak.
