If you like this webtoon, you'd probably like the 2017 korean film called the king that deals with corrupt prosecutors , in fact i wouldnt be surprised if this webtoon was inspired by it.

@Ey_man i like this manga though, but it's portrait that prosecutors have to do everything from investigating to enforcing and stand in front of judge which is unrealistic to say the least. One of this task is separate field for a reason, you can't learn all of this unless you can go back in time as mc, but they all do that.

That's what happens when you give prosecutors the exclusive right to prosecute AND the right to investigate AND the right to conduct investigations by the police AND the exclusive right to request warrant for seizure and search. If one of your prosecutors did something sketchy? easy, just don't investigate/prosecute him. Because if prosecutors don't, nobodies can, and nobodies can force them to. Ever since they were given this ridiculous power in the dictator regime era some decades ago, they've turned into a gigantic interest group.

@BoILeRuSS S.Korean prosecutors have way too much power compared to their counterparts in other countries. It's because they were given those powers in the dictatorship-era some decades ago to unfairly investigate and prosecute the political enemies of the dictator regime. We're going through a lot of BS shitshow trying to normalize them. The dictator could control them because he had a whole army at his disposal. Now that the dictator's gone betrayed and shot by his own man, only the prosecutors with the outrageous power remain and there's no democratic measure that can really control prosecutors. In short, we're fucked.

Just keep in mind that if your political leader wants to give prosecutors both the right to investigate and exclusive right to prosecute, he/she is up to no damn good.

@dudadudaduda Wouldn't it make all institutions extremely weak? Just put corrupted people in charge and do what you want? Even swinging elections should become relatively easy.

@BoILeRuSS exactly! But I wonder if the people of South Korea know about the dangerous side of this if what @dudadudaduda was right. Everybody should realize how dangerous it is once they know this.

@BoILeRuSS Yes, basically what you said. Since they have the exclusive right to request search and seizure warrants and also the exclusive right to prosecute, they can basically frame anyone who'd try to challenge the current prosecution system. But many of our citizens are waking up to this reality more and more people are starting to vote for someone who would willingly challenge the system. That's our only hope for now.

@Ey_man That is correct. We've been through some real political shitshow for some time now thanks to this joke of a prosecution system, so the majority of the citizens want this situation to change. It's still an ongoing story.

@dudadudaduda by the way just wanted to thank you for spreading awareness of this important topic. I didn't expect to be lectured on a manga/hwa (whatever) on Korean politics really keeps my general knowledge up to date and makes me smarter.

Glad it helped 🙂
We're a relatively young democracy compared to other countries. Most of our recent history involves multiple dictators and those who supported the dictator regimes and benefited from doing so. And for decades these people have ruined our laws and law enforcing system to accommodate their personal interests. The prosecution system is just one of many of those though I'd say they're the worst of them all.

on a side note, a prosecutor was charged for the destruction of evidence recently. The charge was rejected by the court because it was the prosecutor himself who did that. Apparently, in this third-world country of mine, the destruction of evidence only applies to the cases where you let someone else do it for you.😁
