Regarding the opposition parties, including the Democratic Party of Korea, calling for Kim Gun-hee to accept the independent counsel, President Yoon Suk Yeol made it clear that appointing an independent counsel opposed by the president and the ruling party is basically against the Constitution.At a press conference, President
Yoon said, "Invoking the right to investigate a case and distributing the case to a prosecutor is a unique part of the administrative power, which is the essence of the separation of powers."
He then emphasized that he had already spent hundreds of investigative personnel for more than two years to investigate Kim by continuing a separate investigation that the last government called illegal, but failed to prosecute her.
In this situation, he raised his voice, saying that it is not judicial but political instigation to conduct an independent counsel, and that it is also a human rights violation of others involved in the case.
President Yoon reiterated that opposing the special prosecution is never a matter of love and defense for his wife.
