Just before, President Moon Jae-in approved a disciplinary bill against Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, proposed by Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae. This is what the Blue House revealed 10 minutes ago. The disciplinary action of the Attorney General is the first in history. At the same time, Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae expressed his appreciation to President Moon. The Blue House said, “Thank you for faithfully completing the mission assigned by the era,” and said “I will consider” the move of Minister Chu. Now, President Yun has been suspended for two months. The disciplinary committee heard allegations of the investigation by the judiciary, interfering with the investigation and investigation of the Channel A case, and damaging political neutrality as reasons for disciplinary action. General Yoon said, “It is an illegal and unfair measure to expel the prosecutor general on a tenure basis.” It was foreshadowing a lawsuit. First, let’s listen to the Blue House presentation a bit earlier. Let’s connect reporter Shim Soo-mi of the Blue House.
Reporter Sumi Shim, please reorganize the contents of the Blue House presentation today (16th).

A little while ago, at 7:30, Cheong Man-ho, chief communication officer of the Blue House, came to the Blue House here and said that President Moon had approved a two-month suspension of punishment for President Yoon Seok-yeol.
It is said that Minister Chu came to the Blue House at around 5 pm earlier, reported the results of the disciplinary committee of President Yun, requested disciplinary action, and then delivered his intention to voluntarily resign.
Chief Chung said he also expressed his intention to regret President Moon as the appointment authority.
[앵커]
Please tell me again the contents of Minister Chu’s speech.
[기자]
Chief Man-ho Jung also revealed that Minister Chu Mi-ae expressed his gratitude to the president.
However, he also revealed that the President highly appreciated Minister Chu’s driving force in relation to the prosecution reform, and also revealed that he expressed his intention to reflect on his appreciation and fulfill his duty to the end.
[앵커]
Minister Chu’s expression of gratitude, is this something that was expected?
[기자]
There were many prospects that when the disciplinary phase of President Yoon was over, it would naturally be included in the second reshuffle and replaced.
However, even in the political world, the expectation that he would submit a resignation along with the request for disciplinary action was not realized.
As there was an analysis that the so-called’Chuyun conflict’ contributed to a considerable reason for the recent rapid decline in the presidential approval rating and the declining power of state administration, it is interpreted that Minister Chu made a decision.
The Blue House explains that there was no invitation from President Moon to resign.
[앵커]
Right now, President Seok-Yeol Yoon is strongly opposed to the discipline itself. Is there a position at the Blue House on this?
[기자]
The Blue House does not answer any additional questions.
Previously, the Blue House has maintained that all disciplinary procedures are handled by the Ministry of Justice, and the president has no choice but to follow the outcome, whatever the outcome.
Even if Yoon objected, it seems that he keeps his distance to make it clear that the subject of the dispute should be the Ministry of Justice.

I heard it well. I was reporter Shim Soo-mi at the Blue House.
