This is a comment left by Kim Jin-joo, the victim of the Busan roundhouse kick case, on a social media post by the side of Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Yong-min.

In response to a post suggesting that former President Roh Moo-hyun would also feel pleased about the amendment to the Criminal Procedure Act, Kim Jin-joo protested by writing, "Go to hell."

In a phone interview with SBS, Kim stated that her comment was "the most refined expression" she could muster, calling the amendment to the Criminal Procedure Act that abolishes prosecutors' supplementary investigation powers a "horrific change."

She also pointed out that it is "a bill that leaves out crime victims."

[Kim Jin-joo (pseudonym) / Victim of Busan Roundhouse Kick Case: Because it is so obvious who will suffer, I believe this is something that will eventually exact a price. Judicial reform for politicians is unnecessary for victims (is what I want to say).]

Earlier, organizations such as the Korea Sexual Violence Relief Center also expressed regret, stating, "Prosecutorial reform to guarantee victims' rights has not been achieved."

Minister of Justice Jung Sung-ho also stated that if there are side effects, the bill must be revised.

[Jung Sung-ho / Minister of Justice: It must be the first time the Criminal Procedure Act has been amended at the speed of light. If side effects or problems beyond the scope of prediction arise, we must swiftly supplement them...]

Regarding the Democratic Party's plan for "mandatory full transfer" of seven major crimes targeting the socially vulnerable as a supplementary measure, Minister Jung requested that the scope of the seven major crimes be actively set during follow-up legislation to ensure vulnerable groups receive maximum protection.
