[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] On the 4th, Lee Sujin, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea and former chief judge, announced that she would "push for the impeachment of judges involved in judicial corruption," prompting former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon to criticize, "She is trying to label innocent people as collaborators just because they exposed her true identity."

On the same day, Jin posted on his Facebook, "(Lee claims to have resisted judicial corruption, but her name is not even on the blacklist of the Yang Seung-tae judiciary)," adding, "It's like saying, 'I secretly covered myself with a blanket at home and shouted independence alone, so please recognize me as an independence activist.'"

He continued, "After liberation on August 15, 1945, suddenly independence activists appeared everywhere like mushrooms after rain," and criticized, "I don't know by what miracle (Lee) suddenly received the treatment of an independence activist."

Earlier, Kim Yeon-hak, a chief judge who worked as the personnel general review officer during the trial of former Chief Justice Yang Seung-tae, referred to Lee's performance evaluations during her time as a judge, saying, "There are many negative comments." He also implied that Lee's demotion was purely due to lack of work capability, not personnel disadvantages.

In response, Lee said, "I feel deeply insulted," and warned, "I will push for judicial reform by pursuing the impeachment of judges, and at that time, Chief Judge Kim will be the top candidate for review."

Targeting Lee, former professor Jin criticized, "In the end, she just didn't do her homework well and was lazier than others, so she failed. Yet she claims, 'The Japanese principal failed me because I covered myself with a blanket at home and shouted for the independence movement alone.'"

He added, "Lee says she will push for the impeachment of that chief judge who testified in court. She intends to brand him as a judge involved in judicial corruption, but that chief judge has never once been listed as a judicial corruption judge," and reiterated, "If only he had collaborated like her by helping native Japanese collaborators, it might be understandable, but she is trying to label an innocent person as a collaborator just because he exposed her true identity."

He then sarcastically said, "This is how the 'No. 1 candidate for judicial impeachment,' unprecedented in constitutional history, was selected," and "180 seats are really scary, aren't they?"

Finally, Jin said, "Lee was never on the blacklist, but rather cooperated with judicial corruption and was demoted due to poor performance evaluations. Yet she imagined all along that she was demoted because she was on the blacklist," adding, "The Democratic Party appointed such a person without verification, captivated by an election 'story.' This is what happens when activist narratives become a means of advancement. Life is a comedy."
