President Lee Jae-myung's remarks to the acting Prosecutor General during a State Council meeting, stating 'If you make a mistake, apologize and cancel it,' and 'Don't fall into the trap of infallibility,' were criticized by the People Power Party on October 2nd as pressure on the prosecution to drop charges.
