"I Asked Park Youngjae": Supreme Court Justice Summoned Over Han Dong-hoon's Allegations — Court Administration's Response The National Court Administration has denied allegations that it rejected a past request from the Supreme Prosecutors' Office to exclude a judge close to then-nominee for Justice Kim Seung-won from the warrant review of a related company official, in connection with the "new drug lobbying allegations." Appearing at a plenary session of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly today , National Court Administration Minister Roh Kyung-pil responded to a question from Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker Kim Dong-ah asking whether it is plausible for a prosecutor to visit the Supreme Court and demand a change of judge, saying, "We are currently verifying the facts, but no such facts have been uncovered as of yet." Previously, independent lawmaker Han Dong-hoon claimed that the judge at the Seoul Western District Court who dismissed the arrest warrant for CEO Kang of Genencel, the core figure in the new drug lobbying suspicions, had a special relationship with then-nominee Kim and a broker surnamed Yang.
