‘문 정부 블랙리스트’ 수사한 한찬식…여권 내 반발도

Progressive-leaning outlets voice concern about appointing another prosecutor-background official to this senior position, particularly one who led investigations of the previous government. They argue that investigation reflected overly expansive legal interpretation and worry the appointment may complicate ongoing efforts to restructure prosecutorial authority and oversight.

Centrist outlets portray Han as a figure with connections spanning both conservative and progressive legal circles, noting his reputation for diplomatic communication. They suggest he may occupy a mediating position between prosecutorial agencies and political leadership.

Conservative-leaning outlets emphasize Han's prosecutorial expertise and experience as suitable for managing judicial system changes. While noting some concerns within the ruling coalition, they frame his past investigations as standard prosecutorial work rather than controversial intervention.
