Cheong Wa Dae: Supreme Court Justice Nominations Should Be Promptly Carried Out Through Legal Procedures

Cheong Wa Dae stated that "the nomination of Supreme Court justices must be promptly carried out in accordance with relevant legal procedures."

Senior Presidential Spokesperson Kang Yu-jung gave this response during a briefing today (the 6th) when asked about the selection of successors for former Supreme Court Justice Noh Tae-ak and Supreme Court Justice Lee Heung-goo.

Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae has not yet nominated a successor for former Justice Noh Tae-ak, who retired in March, giving rise to various interpretations. This is seen as an indirect call urging a swift nomination.

However, Cheong Wa Dae drew the line at connecting the current situation to Chief Justice Cho's future.

Earlier today, a media outlet reported, citing a key ruling party official, that Cheong Wa Dae shares the views of Democratic Party leadership candidates Song Young-gil and Kim Min-seok regarding the "impeachment of Cho Hee-dae." Senior Spokesperson Kang denied this, stating, "It is entirely untrue."
