Chung Jeom-sik: "President Lee Jae-myung Must Withdraw Kim Seung-won's Nomination and Declare He Will 'Stand Trial'" People Power Party Floor Leader Chung Jeom-sik said today , "President Lee Jae-myung must withdraw lawmaker Kim Seung-won's nomination for Minister of Justice and declare five words: 'I will stand trial.'" During the floor strategy meeting held at the National Assembly, Floor Leader Chung urged this regarding nominee Kim, stating, "President Lee has chosen the most suitable person as a minister in charge of dropping indictments, who will take the lead to have his own trial canceled." He pointed out, "All six ministerial nominees currently appear to fall short of the public's expectations, and among them, the most serious personnel and the top priority for withdrawal of nomination is none other than Justice Minister nominee lawmaker Kim." He continued, "Nominee Kim drew public criticism in July 2020 when he was seen laughing and chatting brightly in front of a TV broadcasting special heavy rain alerts while a flood disaster in Daejeon resulted in fatalities, and he has usually taken the lead as the vanguard for dropping indictments." He added, "Former Minister Jeong Seong-ho at least showed minimal consideration regarding the dropping of indictments, but nominating lawmaker Kim, a super-hardliner who won't even show minimal consideration, is a public message that the top state affairs priority in the second year of the administration is dropping indictments.
