The Democratic Party in South Korea is facing internal turmoil after President Yoon Suk-yeol appointed a special prosecutor recommended by the opposition party, raising allegations of betrayal and tension within the ruling party.
The Democratic Party of Korea erupted in controversy after President Yoon Suk-yeol appointed Kwon Chang-young, a lawyer suggested by the opposition Justice Party, as the special prosecutor for the second comprehensive investigation, instead of Jeon Jun-cheol, who was recommended by the Democratic Party. This decision has stirred suspicions and criticisms within the Democratic Party, particularly around Jeon, who had previously represented Kim Seong-tae, the former chairman of Samyang Group, during a case that is seen as unfavorable to the president. Members of the party are now questioning the motives behind the recommendation and the implications of choosing an opposition party's candidate.
