Lee Seong-yun, the newly appointed chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, delivers a speech during his inauguration ceremony at its headquarters in Seocho-gu, Seoul, Monday. Lee, a close aide to President Moon Jae-in, called on the prosecution to participate in the reform led by the President, while refraining from exercising its “authority.” There is speculation that his inauguration may hinder the ongoing investigation into corruption allegations involving presidential aides.
