Yonhap By Jung Da-min A controversy is emerging over President Moon Jae-in's pick for the nation's top prosecutor position, former Vice Justice Minister Kim Oh-soo. The ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) welcomed the nomination, saying that Kim is the right person to complete the Moon government's prosecutorial reform and lead the organization stably. But the conservative main opposition People Power Party (PPP) said the presidential office must withdraw the nomination, calling the "pro-ruling bloc figure" unqualified to maintain the political neutrality required of a prosecutor general.
