[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Lee Nak-yeon, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated on the 4th regarding the impeachment motion against Chief Judge Im Seong-geun, who was involved in judicial corruption, which was passed in the National Assembly plenary session, "I hope this will contribute to the development of the judiciary."

On Facebook, Lee said, "The court itself judged that Judge Im's actions, which undermined the independence of other judges' trials, violated the Constitution, and the Judges' Representative Meeting raised the necessity of impeachment. It was the duty of the National Assembly to submit and approve the impeachment motion."

Regarding the opposition party's criticism of 'judicial taming,' Lee pointed out, "I want to ask the opposition what kind of judiciary they intend to create by defending a judge who was subject to impeachment due to unconstitutional actions."
