Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae remained silent today (the 27th) regarding the Democratic Party's push to conduct a parliamentary investigation into him.

At around 5:50 p.m. today, as he was leaving the Supreme Court building in Seocho-gu, Chief Justice Cho got into his car without answering questions from reporters asking for his stance on the Democratic Party's pursuit of a parliamentary investigation.

He also did not respond to questions regarding the impeachment claims raised by the ruling bloc.

Earlier in the day, the Democratic Party held a general meeting of lawmakers at the National Assembly and decided to launch a parliamentary investigation to uncover the truth behind various allegations raised against Chief Justice Cho.

The party plans to process the motion for a parliamentary investigation at a plenary session on the 5th of next month.
