Reporter Kwan-Jin Kim, President Oh-Soo Kim who expressed his resignation Did you go to work?
<Reporter>
Yes, it is reported that Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo has not yet gone to work here at the Supreme Prosecutor's Office.
It has been almost an hour and a half compared to the usual time to go to work, but it was confirmed that President Kim did not attend the parliamentary inquiry scheduled for this afternoon.
Accordingly, the Judiciary Committee members of the National Assembly will discuss again whether to hold a plenary meeting today (18th).
Earlier, Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo announced yesterday that he had submitted a resignation letter, saying he apologized to the public and members of the prosecution for the conflict and strife over the bill.
President Kim, referring to the adjustment of the prosecutor's and police investigation authority, which he participated in as Deputy Attorney General in 2019, said, "I feel responsible for the fact that the prosecution is again pointed out as a target for reform after about a year of implementation and the legislative process to completely abolish the prosecution's investigation function is underway." He explained the background of his resignation.

Please tell us about the emergency meeting of the high prosecutors across the country.
<Reporter>
From 9:30 a.m. a little while ago, here at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, the chiefs of high prosecutors from all over the country have been holding an emergency meeting.
It is the first time in ten days since the meeting on the 8th that six high prosecutors from all over the country have gathered. If the last meeting was scheduled, today's meeting was not scheduled, and countermeasures to block the passage of the inspection and completion bill are on the agenda.
At the meeting, the prospect that the chiefs of high prosecutors may announce their intention to collectively resign is also being cautiously raised.
Meanwhile, the public prosecutor's meeting, where about 150 representatives of public prosecutors from all over the country gather, is scheduled to be held at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office at around 7 pm tomorrow.
