Oh Kwang-soo (the 18th class of the Judicial Research and Training Institute), former chief civil affairs officer, announced his resignation from the special prosecutor investigation as a lawyer for Han Hak-ja of the Unification Church on 4th. Oh was appointed as the first chief civil affairs officer of the Lee Jae-myung administration in June but resigned just five days later amid allegations of concealed property.
In a statement released through his law firm, Dae Ryuk Aju, Oh noted, "Today, I submitted my resignation to the special prosecutor and resigned from being a lawyer for Han Hak-ja of the Unification Church."
Oh, a fellow Judicial Research and Training Institute graduate with President Lee Jae-myung, was appointed as the first chief civil affairs officer of this administration on June 8. However, it was later revealed that during his time as a prosecutor, he managed his wife's real estate under a borrowed name and omitted it from the public official asset disclosure, leading to controversy. Consequently, he resigned voluntarily after five days.
Afterward, Oh returned to his original firm, Dae Ryuk Aju, and was reported to have been appointed as a lawyer for Han Hak-ja on the 1st. The Kim Keon-hee special prosecutor claimed that former Deputy Minister Yoon Young-ho, who was known as the second-in-command of the Unification Church, delivered luxury bags and expensive necklaces to Mrs. Kim through a practitioner named Jeon Seong-bae, leading to the arrest and indictment of Mrs. Kim and former Deputy Minister Yoon last month.
The special prosecutor plans to summon Han on the 8th, believing that there was a directive from him regarding the items delivered by former Deputy Minister Yoon. It was reported that Han underwent cardiac-related procedures at Asan Medical Center in Seoul on the 3rd. However, it has been stated that he has not yet indicated that he would not attend the special prosecutor's summons.
