He announced his resignation position as the prosecutor general with more than four months left in office. An official in the legal profession said, “It seems that Yoon has determined that there is no more work to do while remaining at the prosecution for the protection of democracy and rule of law,” and said, “I will reveal the position of resignation.”
The Supreme Prosecutor’s Office said on the day, “President Yun is expressing his position at the entrance of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office at 2 pm today.”
President Yoon said that he was thinking about taking a vacation at home this morning.

In a meeting with employees, he also said a meaningful word, “The’people’s prosecution’ means protecting the people, who are relatively weak, by punishing those who are powerful without noticing the person in charge.” In a recent interview, President Yoon described the promotion of the installation of a heavy water office for the passport as “elimination of the rule of law, regression of democracy,” and “If I walk directly to prevent this, I will bet even 100 times.”
One person around Yoon said, “I’m very concerned about destroying the national system in order to retire my passport.”
