[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] It has been confirmed that the Supreme Court accepted the resignation of Lee Su-jin (52, Judicial Research and Training Institute class 31), Chief Judge of Suwon District Court and Research Fellow at the Judicial Policy Research Institute, who announced his intention to run in this year’s general election.

The Supreme Court accepted Chief Judge Lee’s resignation on the 31st of last month and decided to dismiss him from his position effective on the 7th. It is reported that an internal notice containing this information was posted on the 3rd. The Supreme Court appears to have accepted the resignation as quickly as possible since Chief Judge Lee had already publicly declared his intention to run in the general election.

Chief Judge Lee is being considered as a talent recruit for the Democratic Party of Korea. He also publicly expressed his intention to run in a local constituency in an interview with the media.

Chief Judge Lee served as a judge at Incheon District Court, Seoul High Court, and Seoul Central District Court, and later served as a judicial research officer at the Supreme Court. Afterward, he served as Chief Judge at Daejeon District Court and Daejeon Family Court, and is currently working as Chief Judge at Suwon District Court and as a Research Fellow at the Judicial Policy Research Institute.

Judge Lee previously revealed allegations that the ruling on the forced labor case was delayed while he was working as a research officer in the Supreme Court’s Civil In-depth Research Group during the tenure of former Chief Justice Yang Sung-tae from 2016 to 2017.
