\n

South Korean prosecutors on Tuesday swooped in and <\/span>seized<\/span><\/a> documents from two ministries, as well a couple of their ancillary research institutes: the unification ministry in Seoul, plus the clunkily named (and oft-<\/span>renamed<\/span><\/a>) Ministry of Science and ICT.<\/span><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t unusual in South Korea, where the Supreme Prosecutors\u2019 Office (<\/span>SPO<\/span><\/a>) wields wide powers to investigate anyone \u2014 however mighty. Earlier this month, for instance, the SPO raided the country\u2019s powerful spy agency in relation to the 2019 repatriation of two North Korean fishermen, which has recently reemerged as a <\/span>controversy<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve <\/span>argued<\/span><\/a> that reopening the case now \u2014 with no fresh evidence \u2014 is a political ploy by the recently elected conservative President Yoon Suk-yeol to target his liberal predecessor Moon Jae-in. And the latest raid into the science ministry looks to be more of the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

The raid is tied to allegations that a former minister under Moon forced the heads of several state-run companies to resign, a years-old case that prosecutors have rushed to investigate since Yoon took office.<\/span><\/p>\n

But this investigation comes as Yoon himself is accused of pushing out Moon appointees in favor of those that he favors, a flagrant case of hypocrisy that only underlines the political motives behind the recent raids. South Korea deserves better than this same old vicious cycle of political revenge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A BOGUS BLACKLIST?<\/b><\/p>\n

The raid into the science ministry has roots several years back. In 2019, the then-opposition Liberty Korea Party (LKP), precursor of today\u2019s conservative People Power Party (PPP), <\/span>filed a criminal complaint<\/span><\/a> against Paik Un-gyu, a prominent scientist who served as Moon\u2019s first minister of industry, trade and energy from 2017-18. A vice minister and three other senior officials were also indicted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Allegedly, Paik forced the heads of 13 state-run energy companies appointed by Moon\u2019s predecessor Park Geun-hye to resign. Paik insists he acted in accordance with the law. Somewhat tendentiously, Seoul media have <\/span>dubbed<\/span><\/a> this the \u201cblacklist scandal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Was there a blacklist? If so, is that scandalous? To answer that, let\u2019s try to sort out some of the many tangled threads raised by this case, and others like it.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, the timing. The SPO didn\u2019t exactly rush to investigate the LKP\u2019s original complaint. It only sprang into action three years later, after Moon left office.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yoon became president on May 10. Barely a week later, on May 19, prosecutors <\/span>raided<\/span><\/a> Paik\u2019s home and university office, plus several ministry and agency premises.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reporting the raid, <\/span>Yonhap News Agency<\/span><\/i> wrote<\/span><\/a>: \u201cProsecutors are expected to take some time analyzing the seized materials before determining whether to summon Paik for questioning.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Actually, they didn\u2019t hang about. In early June, prosecutors hauled Paik in for questioning, and on June 13, they <\/span>applied<\/span><\/a> for a warrant to arrest him.<\/span><\/p>\n

These actions were too strong for Seoul Eastern District Court, which on June 15 <\/span>rebuffed<\/span><\/a> the SPO by refusing to lock Paik up. The court noted that \u201csome allegations against him were open for dispute,\u201d adding that it was hard to envisage Paik destroying additional evidence or as a flight risk.<\/span><\/p>\n

Presumably this week\u2019s new raid on the science ministry, avowedly <\/span>linked<\/span><\/a> to the blacklist issue, is a bid to dig up fresh dirt on Paik \u2014 since whatever the SPO has on him so far has evidently failed to impress the courts.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not surprised, for frankly it doesn\u2019t impress me either. Is it really odd, let alone criminal, for an incoming government to replace senior officials from the ancien regime?<\/span><\/p>\n

SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE<\/b><\/p>\n

Yoon Suk-yeol clearly doesn\u2019t think so. Because his government is doing the very same thing.<\/span><\/p>\n

On July 7, South Korean media <\/span>reported<\/span><\/a> that the heads of two state-run think tanks, the Korea Development Institute (KDI) and Korea Labor Institute (KLI), \u201coffered to resign after the Yoon government asked top officials appointed by the preceding administration to step down.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

KDI chief Hong Jang-pyo, who only a day earlier was still <\/span>resisting<\/span><\/a> pressure, noted acidly: \u201cThere is no reason for me to remain as the KDI president any longer if the prime minister chooses not listen to my opinions because they are different.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It was Prime Minister Han Duck-soo who had <\/span>called<\/span><\/a> on Hong to step down. Yet the latter was being a tad disingenuous. This wasn\u2019t just about a difference of opinions. Hong was the architect of one of Moon Jae-in\u2019s flagship initiatives: the so-called income-led growth <\/span>policy<\/span><\/a>. The PPP takes a completely different approach to managing the economy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even so, KDI is a research institute, not a ministry or an executive branch of government. A variety of opinions on knotty issues is surely an essential virtue in think-tanks, as in academia. And Hong\u2019s term wasn\u2019t due to end until 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yoon\u2019s government and the PPP now take the <\/span>view<\/span><\/a> that minister-level posts like these should be held by people \u201con the same page\u201d as the government on policy issues. Anyone who is off-message should \u201cvoluntarily\u201d quit.<\/span><\/p>\n

You could argue this either way. What you can\u2019t do is have it both ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the heads of KDI and KLI should go because their views clash with Yoon\u2019s, then by the same token Paik and Moon were entitled to replace the heads of energy institutes. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, as they say.<\/span><\/p>\n

Good governance needs two things: Clearer rules, and a spirit of compromise. Both are sadly lacking in Seoul. Precisely which senior posts should change with a new government is something that should be discussed dispassionately, until bipartisan agreement is reached.<\/span><\/p>\n

Himself a former prosecutor-general, Yoon frequently stresses the need for the rule of law. Yet indicting Paik In-kyu was an avowedly partisan move at the outset. Continuing to hound him now is the same \u2014 and hypocritical, given the fate of the KDI and KLI heads under Yoon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ministers and civil servants should be able to do their work, free from fear that a change of government may see them targeted and in hot water. Otherwise morale is sapped and institutions corroded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A mature democracy deserves better.<\/span><\/p>\n
