Kim Min-seok: 'Will Form TF to Prevent Regression of Prosecution Reform and Support Establishment of Prosecution Office'

Democratic Party leader Kim Min-seok announced, "We will soon create a necessary task force to completely block any signs of regression in prosecution reform and support the stable establishment of the prosecution office."

Speaking at a Supreme Council meeting held at the Gangwon Provincial Government office in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, today (the 14th), leader Kim stated, "Various bodies that have been pushing for prosecution reform, separate from the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, are now entering the winding-up stage."

He explained, "We have concluded that it is necessary to conduct intensive inspections at the party level to prevent any regression in the prosecution office and prosecution reform, and to properly monitor its settlement."

Regarding director Lee Chang-dong winning the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice International Film Festival for the film "Possible Love", leader Kim emphasized, "Support for the Korean Wave, as well as for films and culture, should be subject to various forms of national support, including future response funds."

He added, "In the era of the AI transformation, investment, support, and startups are crucial for culture, including films, which form the basis of the Korean Wave. We must change the conventional thinking that these cannot be targets of national strategic support."

He went on to promise, "We will overcome situations like the one where a masterpiece created by director Lee Chang-dong that shined on the global stage had a budget of less than 10 billion won yet could not receive domestic national support, forcing it to rely on overseas platforms like Netflix."
