They claim to watch with wide-open eyes, yet draw the line on inspecting Kim Hyun-ji

Special Inspector Choi Gil-soo: “Maintaining neutrality and independence… I will watch with wide-open eyes”
First day remarks… First active since the inaugural Lee Seok-soo 10 years ago: “Infinite sense of responsibility”
Under current law, inspections are limited to the President's spouse, relatives within the fourth degree, and senior secretaries or higher

Upon starting his first day on the 26th, Special Inspector Choi Gil-soo stated, “I will become a presence like a Panopticon (a circular prison with a high central surveillance tower) that can watch inspection targets with wide-open eyes.” While the restoration of the Special Inspector system after 10 years has revived the function of monitoring and checking power around the President, expanding the scope of inspection targets and increasing the effectiveness of the system through legal amendments remains a task ahead.
