Candidate Dong-Hoon Han for the Minister of Justice has arrived at the office of the personnel hearing preparation team starting today.
One candidate harshly criticized the Democratic Party of Korea, which is pushing the so-called ‘check-and-run’ bill from the first commute, and the Moon Jae-in government, what he did to even ‘run in the night’.
Jaewook Lee is awesome.

Candidate Dong-Hoon Han, who was appointed as the first Minister of Justice under the Yoon Seok-Yeol administration, first attended the personnel hearing preparation team at the Seoul High Prosecutor’s Office.
When asked regarding the bill to abolish the prosecution’s investigative powers, he strongly criticized the government and the ruling party.

“I think a lot of people will be curious regarding what has happened over the past five years and why we have to make a night escape without any justification.”
Just like committing a crime and running away secretly, they are trying to take over the prosecution’s investigative powers to cover up the wealth of the five years in power.
He raised his voice saying that only criminals are afraid of the prosecution.

“Strong criminals are effectively institutionalized to commit crimes and go unpunished.”
Regarding the concern that the Yoon Seok-yeol line would be used, he replied that he would make an effort to make a equitable greeting when he became a minister.
When asked whether the prosecution should actively investigate the allegations surrounding other ministerial candidates, only a principled answer was given.

“I don’t think it’s appropriate to talk regarding other candidates or anything like this.”
Three years ago, Candidate Han led an all-round investigation into the family of then-Attorney Minister Cho Kuk.
Currently, there are suspicions that the children of the Minister of Health and Welfare candidate Jeong Ho-young took advantage of ‘Dad Chance’ to transfer to medical school.
As a candidate went to work for the first time, the hearing preparation team began to work in earnest.
First of all, it was explained that it was a normal transaction without any dispute regarding a candidate receiving a deposit of 530 million won for the first time in one year.
The tenant, who was originally moving out on his own, changed his position and signed a new contract with the market household, so there was no need to comply with the 5% rent increase limit applied when extending the existing contract.
One candidate who made his first public remarks on his way to work said he would not disclose his way to and from work in the future.
