Justice Minister Jeong Seong-ho said on April 3 that, based on the facts uncovered by the parliamentary probe, his office will conduct rigorous oversight and hold anyone who unlawfully abused prosecutorial power accountable through disciplinary measures, criminal investigations, and punishments commensurate with the severity of their misconduct.
That night, after completing agency briefings to the Special Committee investigating allegations of manipulated prosecutions by the Yoon Suk Yeol administration—specifically the Ssangbangwool transfers to North Korea case—Jeong posted the statement on Facebook.
Jeong said that tomorrow (April 4) marks the first anniversary of the removal from office of former president Yoon Suk Yeol, whom he described as the ringleader of the insurrection, and added that the lawn in front of the National Assembly, which a year ago was filled with tension and anxiety, has become a peaceful place where citizens can go about their daily lives under the cherry blossoms.
He said the Lee Jae-myung administration aims not only to restore institutional normalcy but also to rebuild a politics that unites the people, calling that the true path to ending the insurrection and the mission of our time.
As a cabinet minister, he said he renews the promise he made to the public a year ago to build a \"real Republic of Korea,\" and pledged to do his utmost to root out the rot and heal divisions.
