Justice Minister Jeong Seong-ho's resignation, submitted due to deteriorating health, has been accepted. Meanwhile, a larger-than-expected number of people applied for positions at the Central Investigation Bureau. Furthermore, Representative Kim Min-seok's remarks on reviewing an exemption from the comprehensive real estate tax for non-resident single homeowners has sparked a 'retreat from reform' controversy.
The primary reason for his resignation is reported to be poor health. Minister Jeong is said to have already completed his key tasks related to the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) and the Anti-Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO).
This includes about 100 prosecutors. This number is significantly higher than anticipated, and a high competition rate is expected to exceed the required number of personnel.
The President agreed with the principle of separating investigation and indictment but emphasized the need for supplementary investigations to address potential side effects of complete abolition. However, some supporters and writer Yoo Si-min criticized the President for insufficient prosecutorial reform, expressing no confidence. This conflict is analyzed to have influenced the results of the Democratic Party's national convention.
This position contrasts with the government's stance of adhering to the principle of uniformly heavy taxation on non-resident single homes. Some criticize Kim's remarks as advocating speculation and a retreat from reform.

There are calls to consider inevitable exceptions even within the fundamental stance of curbing speculation.
