The People Power Party fiercely criticized President Lee Jae-myung's nomination of Defense Acquisition Program Administration Director Lee Yong-cheol as a candidate for Minister of Justice, calling it the despotism of the Seongnam Line, saying the appointment was made to cancel the indictment.

Justice Minister nominee Lee Yong-cheol brings decades of administrative experience in the legal and defense sectors, having served in the presidential office and as head of DAPA.

On the 6th, Minister of Public Administration and Security Yun Ho-jung recommended the appointment of Kim Jong-cheol, Deputy Commissioner of the National Police Agency, as a candidate for the 25th Commissioner General of the National Police Agency. Minister Yoon evaluated candidate Kim as the right person to carry out the contemporary task of police reform with abundant experience and organizational management ability.

The Special Prosecution Act on Manipulated Prosecutions, which was passed through the plenary session of the National Assembly led by the Democratic Party of Korea, is causing concern and conflict in the legal community due to the vague scope of investigation and the possibility of cancellation of indictments.

The Lee Jae-myung administration's seventh special prosecution bill, the Manipulated Prosecution Act, has passed the National Assembly, but there are many challenges, including serious manpower shortages at the Central Investigation Agency and the Public Prosecution Office and the collection of evidence for cases under trial.
