與 "Inspection of Lim Eun-jung, common sense measure... It is absurd to argue about the personnel management of the superior."

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ahn Jung-hoon = On the 11th, the Democratic Party of Korea evaluated Minister of Public Administration and Security Yun Ho-jung's order to inspect Gwangju Regional Heavy Water Agency Director Lim Eun-jung as a "common sense measure."

Jo Gye-won, spokesperson for the Democratic Party, met with reporters at the National Assembly that day and said, “It is absurd to argue over the boss’s personnel issues.”

Previously, Minister Yoon announced on social media that he would instruct the Serious Crimes Investigation Office to initiate an inspection in accordance with the Act on the Organization and Operation of the Serious Crimes Investigation Office against Director Lim, who has publicly criticized Kim Ji-yong, the first candidate for the head of the Serious Crimes Investigation Office.

Regarding the internal negative public opinion about Candidate Kim, Spokesperson Cho explained, "Anything that has not yet been questioned or verified in the hearing can be resolved through additional verification."

At the same time, he explained, “It is no longer right to continue to dispute qualifications in the media before verification, or to dispute qualifications through the media or SNS,” and added, “Representative (Kim Min-seok) strongly warned about this problem.”

Previously, Representative Kim appeared on the party's YouTube channel on the 7th and said about the hard-liners' opposition to Candidate Kim by saying, "I said that it is time for the party to control this issue, and I understand that I will not say more about the issue."

Regarding the fact that the party's approval rating in a recent Gallup Korea poll hit its lowest since the launch of the current government, Spokesperson Cho analyzed, "It seems inevitable that the conflict within the party is related to the stagnation in approval ratings."

He added, “The public still sees division and conflict within the Democratic Party over prosecution reform,” adding, “The departure of moderates who supported the Democratic Party has progressed at a significant rate and is not yet recovering.”

At the same time, he predicted, “I think the conflict can be resolved to some extent through the hearing of the head of the Central Investigation Agency,” and added, “Once these issues are resolved, the approval rating, which has been stagnant, will be resolved to some extent and rise.”
