On July 31, a bill amending the Criminal Procedure Act to completely abolish the prosecution's investigative powers passed the National Assembly.

Rep. Kim Yong-min of the Democratic Party of Korea, who is a member of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee and spearheaded the bill's passage, stated that right after the parliamentary vote, he visited the grave of the late former President Roh Moo-hyun at Bongha Village in Gimhae, South Gyeongsang Province, to present the amended Criminal Procedure Act before his spirit.

On August 1, a post appeared on social media operated by Rep. Kim Yong-min's office, featuring a photo of a funeral wreath with the phrase "I have finished all the homework you gave me," along with a message suggesting that former President Roh Moo-hyun would be feeling "happy" about the amendment to the Criminal Procedure Act.

In response, the victim of the "Busan roundhouse kick case," who uses the pseudonym "Kim Jin-ju," left a direct comment on Rep. Kim's post.

It was a short remark: "Go to hell."

In a phone interview with SBS, victim Kim Jin-ju stated that "go to hell" was the most sanitized expression of what she truly wanted to say.

[Kim Jin-ju / Victim of the "Busan roundhouse kick case" (Pseudonym): (Seeing that post) I was reminded of many other victims. I thought of victims who cannot speak out. I think I used the most sanitized expression possible there....]

She also stated that it is crystal clear who will suffer because of this legal revision, adding, "They will pay the price."

[Kim Jin-ju / Victim of the "Busan roundhouse kick case" (Pseudonym): Because it is really clear who will suffer, I ultimately think that "this is something to pay the price for," and I actually think it is a truly horrific change. Sacrificing someone else yet again for their own logic is such a real, truly devastating society....]

She also expressed her stance that judicial reform for politicians, rather than for victims, is unnecessary.

[Kim Jin-ju / Victim of the "Busan roundhouse kick case" (Pseudonym): I shouldn't speak as if I represent all crime victims, so when I asked other victims, "What do you think about this?", what was truly unanimous was that judicial reform without victims must never exist, and judicial reform for politicians is unnecessary for victims....]

Kim Jin-ju also left a remark hoping that President Lee Jae-myung will exercise his veto power over the amendment to the Criminal Procedure Act passed by the National Assembly.

[Kim Jin-ju / Victim of the "Busan roundhouse kick case" (Pseudonym): It is such a horrific change when other crime victims think about it, to the point where I could even beg, "Please, Mr. President, exercise your veto power"....]

SBS asked Rep. Kim Yong-min's side for their stance on the comment left by Kim Jin-ju, but Rep. Kim's side stated that they would not issue a specific position.
