President Lee Jae-myung on the 6th called on the newly launched Serious Crimes Investigation Agency to "investigate criminal acts by powerful members of the social elite strictly and thoroughly, without a shred of hesitation, regardless of whether they are on your side or mine, in the ruling party or the opposition."
Lee made the remarks at a Cabinet meeting he presided over at the Blue House, saying, "There are times when the public wonders whether justice exists in this country."
He added that "for cases that raise public doubts, the facts must be established so that suspicions can be fully resolved," and stressed, "Please devote all your efforts to establishing a fair social order so that in that process no one is wrongly accused and no one gains unfairly."
