View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Bo-ryeong] The People Power Party repeatedly urged Chief Justice Kim Myung-soo to resign.
On the 7th, Bae Jun-young, spokesperson for the People Power Party, stated in a commentary, "Is there any alternative other than resignation?"
Spokesperson Bae criticized, "If the recording had not been disclosed, Chief Justice Kim would have deceived the public forever. It is obvious how many lies he has told before and how many more lies he will tell in the future."
In his response submitted to the National Assembly, Chief Justice Kim said he never stated that he could not accept the resignation of Busan High Court Chief Judge Im Seong-geun due to impeachment issues. However, on the 4th, Chief Judge Im released a recording that contradicted Chief Justice Kim's response.
Spokesperson Bae expressed concern, saying, "Since the Chief Justice lied, the public may think that justices and judges will lie as well. I worry that the credibility of all trials will be shaken. This lie incident may be just one lie by Chief Justice Kim, but it is a blow that topples the judiciary of the Republic of Korea."
He emphasized, "Is there any alternative other than his resignation to restore trust in the judiciary of the Republic of Korea?"
On the same day, Park Dae-chul, a member of the People Power Party, also said on Facebook, "Can't you hear the resentment of your junior judges, Chief Justice?"
Park pointed out, "Without the recording, the Chief Justice would have hidden the lies until the end. At his inauguration, he said he would protect 'judicial independence' with his whole body, but he threw away 'judicial independence' with his whole body."
