Justice Minister Jeong Seong-ho submitted his resignation letter, citing health issues and the completion of major legislation related to prosecutorial reform. He stated that there was still much work to be done in quickly addressing the problems that arose during the revision process of the Criminal Procedure Act in the National Assembly. Minister Jeong emphasized that the success of prosecutorial reform depends on the empathy and trust of all members of society, and that the National Assembly and the government are not the owners of the criminal justice system but have an infinite responsibility to the people. He plans to continue serving as minister until the appointment of his successor, overseeing follow-up legislation for prosecutorial reform and current issues within the Ministry of Justice.
