in charge of the Busan Savings Bank case. During his time as the Special
1st Director of the Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office, he took charge of the
LIG Group corporate papers case and indicted the chairman and president of the

Intelligence Service's presidential election manipulation case and investigated for about eight months. It was revealed that he had carried out public opinion manipulation. During the investigation, decisive evidence related to the NIS

did There is a view that he has since been fired from the special

Rating
Chae Dong- Wook, who was the 39th Prosecutor
General, evaluated
'Prosecutor Yoon Seok-you as 'a sophisticated and knowledgeable legal
theorist and a sharp swordsman with self-dedicated courage'.
President Moon Jae -In, the 19th president, accused Yoon Seok-yeol
of coercive investigations related
to his country, while Na Kyung -won while serving as
the Pyeongchang Winter Special Olympic Organizing Committee,
embezzled the remaining budget and abused unfair privileges, accused Sungshin Women's University of his daughter.
Civic groups have accused seven times of corruption in the entrance
examination, suspicion of
Seoul National University’s preferential treatment for his son, and allegations
of privatization and inheritance of Special Olympics Korea, the president of
which Na was the president, but regarding the prosecution’s failure to
investigate, he said, “What kind of incident? "If we selectively and
diligently investigate the case, and if we do not properly investigate some
cases, we will lose trust from the public," he said.
Park Beom- gym,
a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, and a classmate at the Judicial Research
and Training Institute, posted on his Facebook, “Yoon Seok-yeol
Hyung! It is so sad that the reality of the Republic of Korea and the
prosecution, which has no choice but to call his brother a righteous
prosecutor, is very sad.”
On February 13, when Prosecutor-General Yoon Seok-you visited the Busan
District Prosecutors ' Office and the Busan High
Prosecutors ' Office to
encourage them, on February 20, 2020, the far-right conservative Freedom Solidarity held a 'President
Seok-Yeol Yoon Welcome Contest' at around 12:30 pm. To the music of 'M
( Moon Jae-in ) Virus', they waved signs with
phrases such as 'Get out of Moon Jae-in 's room' and 'Yoon Seok-yeol is good'. They were criticized for putting the cause of
the virus on the government and for not understanding properly about
quarantine.
About 20 people from Gwangju and Jeonnam Candlelight Democratic
Citizens held a rally in favor of the current government's reform of the
prosecution service and held a rally holding signs such as 'Is it okay to mock
and ignore the people' and 'Geonhee is not a citation and is a stock price
manipulation'. There was a clash between the two sides, and after meeting with
the head of the Gwangju High Court, he received protests from progressive
civic groups as he exited the main gate of the Gwangju District Court. Even so, every word he has said so
far has moved away from the progressive camp, and he has made remarks that do
not understand welfare, protection, and respect for minorities at all.
Originally, he served as the chief of the Seoul Central
Prosecutors' Office and the Prosecutor General under the Moon Jae-in
administration, but his relationship with the former Justice Minister
Chu Mi-ae deteriorated after
the homeland crisis. Of
course, Yoon Seok-yeol was in a position to protect the power of the
prosecution, so he was in a position to somehow seize the country. This
was in stark contrast to the argument of the Democratic Party and the
motherland, who were talking about prosecutorial reform, and suddenly led Yoon
Seok-you to turn his back on the Democratic Party.
