Kim Seung-won: "Settling New Criminal Justice System is Urgent Mission... Never Acted as Counsel in Daejang-dong Case" Representative Kim Seung-won of the Democratic Party, who has been nominated as Minister of Justice, stated, "I believe that successfully settling the new criminal justice system—the first in 70 years—in South Korea is the most urgent mission (if appointed as minister)." Meeting with reporters prior to the meeting of the 1st Subcommittee for Legislative Review of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, which he chairs at the National Assembly, nominee Kim stated on the 31st, "I feel a heavy sense of responsibility in being nominated as the Minister of Justice for President Lee Jae-myung's People's Sovereignty Government." Nominee Kim emphasized, "I will do my best to restore the Ministry of Justice to an institution that faithfully protects the socially vulnerable as a human rights protection agency stipulated by our Constitution," adding, "We will successfully pass various bills that the Ministry of Justice needs to supplement and gather social consensus." As there have been demands for the dismissal of the indictment in President Lee Jae-myung's case, his stance on the matter drew attention. SBS Aug 31, 2026 2:16 PM
