The Blue House stated on July 16 that it has never wavered from the principle of separating investigation and prosecution in response to comments made by author Yoo Si-min. It also dismissed Yoo's remarks, saying it has no special opinion on them.


During a briefing at the Chunchugwan, Chief Spokesperson Kang Yoo-jung addressed related questions, stating, "We do not have a separate position or comment regarding the remarks of a specific individual."


Yoo criticized President Lee Jae-myung's choices during a recent appearance on the YouTube show 'Mae Bul Show,' saying, "I respect the path chosen by President Lee, but it is a very dangerous choice."


He further claimed that the reason prosecutorial reform has not been achieved for over a year is that the president does not want a complete separation of investigation and prosecution.
