Incumbent judge, “Yang Seung-tae is a trial transaction, Kim Myung-soo is an impeachment transaction?”

-“Is the former Supreme Court Justice Yang Seung-tae a trial transaction, and Chief Justice Kim Myung-soo an impeachment transaction?”

An incumbent judge posted a post with the same title on the 8th on an anonymous bulletin board on the Internet. He criticized Chief Justice Kim, referring to former Chief Justice Yang, who was caught in suspicion of abuse of judicial administration in 2017. In this article, “Yang former Supreme Court Chief Justice still had the goal of being an appeals court,” he said. “This impeachment transaction seems to be purely for Supreme Court Chief Kim himself, as a reward to Lee Tan-hee (a former judge) or loyalty to the regime.” A comment ran. Another judge said, “The situation where a judge is being impeached, is not the situation that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court wants to avoid most.” However, not receiving the resignation (by Lim Seong-geun, Chief Judge of Busan High Court) has a purpose. That purpose looks undeniably political.” An additional comment was added to the post titled’Supreme Chief Justice, please resign’ posted on the 6th. One judge said, “You have to be responsible. Whatever the way,” he pointed out. There was also a comment saying, “I totally sympathize with the anger and disappointment.”

Eight former presidents of the Korean Bar Association, including Kim Doo-hyun Park Seung-seo, Lee Se-joong, Ham Jeong-ho, Jeong Jae-heon, Shin Young-moo, Ha Chang-woo, and Kim Hyun, issued a joint statement calling for the resignation of Chief Justice Kim. They said in a statement, “It is the first thing in constitutional ideology that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court refused to accept the resignation so that the deputy chief judge of the High Court was impeached in the National Assembly,” and said, “Rather than the will to defend the independence of the judiciary, The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court criticized it as shame of the Korean constitutional history.” “The issue of Supreme Court President Kim’s progress is very important in terms of protecting the existence of the judiciary and the trust of the judicial system, regardless of the individual level,” he said, saying, “There is no other choice,” he pressed to resign. There were also criticisms that Kim had further retreated the level of the judiciary than when Yang was in office. Former presidents of the Korea Byeonhyup said, “I am extremely disappointed with the behavior that Supreme Court President Kim has shown as the head of the judiciary over the past four years.” “There were a number of voices of concern that they were politically biased without showing clear will and action for the independence of the judiciary and judicial reform. “I pointed out.
