Former Supreme Court Justice Noh Tae-ak, Who Resigned Over Ballot Shortage Incident, Reports Assets of 2.27 Billion Won

Former Supreme Court Justice Noh Tae-ak, who stepped down as Chairperson of the National Election Commission following the ballot shortage incident during the June 3 local elections, has reported assets totaling 2.27 billion won.

According to the asset registration details published in the official gazette by the Supreme Court Public Official Ethics Committee on June 25, former Justice Noh reported assets of 2.27796 billion won, an increase of 41.69 million won from his asset disclosure in March.

The apartment in Bangbae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, owned by former Justice Noh and his spouse, was valued at 1.86 billion won.

He reported a total of 592.15 million won in savings, including 405.17 million won under his name, 171.22 million won under his spouse's name, and deposits held by their children. The reported value of virtual assets held by his eldest and second sons was 4.6 million won.

The reason cited for the increase in assets was salary savings.

Former Justice Noh was appointed as Chairperson of the National Election Commission in May 2022, nominated by former Chief Justice Kim Myeong-su.

Although he retired from his position as a Supreme Court Justice in March of this year, he continued to serve as the Election Commission Chairperson as the confirmation hearing process for his successor had not taken place. He subsequently resigned following the ballot shortage incident during the June 3 local elections.
