Justice Minister Jeong Seong-ho submitted his resignation letter citing health issues and the completion of major legislation related to prosecution reform. He judged that his role in the amendment of the Criminal Procedure Act and the launch of the Public Prosecutors' Office was not significant, and emphasized the need to quickly resolve political integration issues and legal revision process problems occurring in the National Assembly. Minister Jeong had previously expressed his intention to step down from the ministerial position on several occasions. The presidential office urged Minister Jeong to remain in office until his successor is appointed, continuing to handle follow-up legislation for prosecution reform and pending issues at the Ministry of Justice.
