[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] Justice Cho Hee-dae's retirement ceremony will not be held due to concerns over the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).
According to the Court Administration Office on the 2nd, the retirement ceremony for Justice Cho, which was scheduled for the 3rd, has been canceled. Justice Cho will complete his term and leave the court on the 3rd. Retiring justices usually hold a retirement ceremony and greet the court staff they have worked with. However, Justice Cho reportedly requested that no separate retirement ceremony be held, considering the serious situation related to COVID-19.
