President Moon Jae-in appointed Shin Hyun-soo, former head of the National Intelligence Service’s Office of Planning and Coordination, as the next top official. He is the first chief civil prosecutor in the Moon government. In the positions of Minister of Justice and Head of the Office of Investigation of Crimes of Senior Officials (Head of the Public Ministry), who will be in charge of the reform, a person from an office that is not fiscal. It is interpreted to mean that the ‘reform of season 2’ will proceed with a sense of speed.
An elite prosecutor who arrested Kim Hyun-cheol
In a briefing on the 31st, President Roh Young-min, chairman of the president’s secretary, told the new boss, “the right person to complete the reform of the energy agency and deliver public sentiment to the president without any addition or theft “. He added: “We hope to stably complete the reform follow-up measures in the new year, such as the launch of the airlift.” Shin’s date is unusual. This is because President Moon has been emphasizing the removal of prosecution from the Office of Civil Affairs. Former Justice Minister Cho Kook, First Chief Min Jeong, was a teacher, and former Chief Kim Jo-won and Kim Jong-ho were the auditor.
On the other hand, Shin is a typical elite prosecutor. The 16th Judicial Research and Training Institute was appointed prosecutor of the Busan District Prosecutor’s Office in 1990 and, after passing through the Seoul District Prosecutor’s Office and the Busan District Prosecutor’s Office, served as the head of the information and communications department of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office and head of the drug department. During the Kim Young-sam administration, he was in charge of investigating the Hanbo Group and arrested Kim Hyun-cheol, President Kim’s son, who was the ‘living power’ at the time. In 2004, when he was selected as Cheong Wa Dae’s appraisal secretary under Roh Moo-hyun’s administration, he retired the following year, breaking the practice of returning to the prosecution for the first time and opening a business as a Kim & Chang lawyer.
After the ‘Chu-yoon conflict’ … “You need to be a prosecutor to face the prosecution.”
Since the government takeover, Shin has been referred to as “the number one top civilian”, but there is said to have been a strong tendency to “leave the prosecution reforms to former prosecutors against the cause.” But this time it was different. There was a growing sense of crisis that Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol’s disciplinary ruling and the cracking of approval ratings caused by the conflict between Attorney General Yoon and Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae were not serious. There has also been a liability claim that Minjeong Line, a former prosecutor, has not responded adequately to the recent situation. A passport official said: “To face the offensive of the prosecution, we have to be from the prosecution.” It could be interpreted as a gesture of appeasement to secure the engines of reform by increasing the contact surface with the prosecution.
There is also talk of a special relationship with President Moon as the background for his selection. This is due to the fact that one of the main functions of the senior position in the Civil Administration is the management of the President’s relatives. Shin worked with President Moon, who was a top official at the time of the Blue House, and served as a legal mentor at Moon Jae-in’s camp during the 2012 presidential election. He is also well known as a member of the “Reunion del Resort, “which was created with the intention of” re-running President Moon for the presidential election “after the defeat of the presidential election. Shin, who knows the president well, is evaluated as the right person not to follow the path of the past regime, where the corruption of family members accelerated the power drain at the end of the term.
