[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] The People Power Party is increasing pressure for the resignation of Chief Justice Kim Myung-soo by considering the publication of a 'white paper' on him.


The one-person picketing that began in front of the Supreme Court on the 5th continued through the Lunar New Year holiday. Members of the National Assembly, party branch chairpersons, and city, county, and district council members held placards at various passageways and entrances to traditional markets in their constituencies that read, "Chief Justice loyal to power, the false 'Myung-soo' Kim Myung-soo must resign." The one-person protests are planned to continue after the holiday as well.


The party's impeachment transaction fact-finding team plans to submit a complaint to the prosecution this week. The suspected charges under review include abuse of authority, neglect of duty, and falsification of official documents.


The People Power Party is also officially starting preparations for the 'Kim Myung-soo White Paper.' Inside and outside the party, there is a realistic recognition of the limitations of direct parliamentary struggle given the current seat situation, but as the main opposition party, they believe it is necessary to leave a historical record.



The white paper writing process is under consideration to collect materials over the weekend and to form a special writing committee. The white paper will include the appropriateness of various 'regime corruption' case rulings during Chief Justice Kim's term, as well as the personnel processes of judges related to these trials. Spokesperson Bae Jun-young stated, "While issues with individual rulings are important, the internal consensus is that the party must thoroughly expose the government's 'code personnel' atrocities and their severity."
