[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Bo-ryeong] The People Power Party will file a complaint with the prosecution on the 15th against Chief Justice Kim Myung-soo on charges including abuse of authority.

Kim Ki-hyun, a member of the People Power Party who is leading the impeachment deal fact-finding team, said in a phone call, "The legal support team promised to hand me the (draft complaint) in the morning, so we will submit it in the afternoon as soon as possible," he said on the day.

Jang Je-won, a member of the impeachment deal fact-finding team, also said, "We decided to finalize it in the morning," adding, "Once the practical work is completed, we will submit the complaint today." The complaint is expected to include charges such as abuse of authority, neglect of duty, and falsification of official documents.

The People Power Party did not stop its offensive against Chief Justice Kim, who has been embroiled in controversy over the so-called 'judge impeachment deal,' even during the Lunar New Year holidays. Members of the National Assembly and local party committee chairpersons affiliated with the People Power Party continued one-person protests across the country during the holiday period, urging Chief Justice Kim to resign.

Floor leader Joo Ho-young criticized on Facebook the previous day, saying, "Chief Justice Kim’s pandering to the ruling party, lies, and political appointments... The new evil is devouring the old evil."

At the emergency committee meeting held that day, Floor Leader Joo, who proposed the writing of a 'Kim Myung-soo White Paper' at the party level, said, "Since Chief Justice Kim took office, he has damaged judicial independence, divided judges, lowered the judiciary’s authority with lies, abused authority, made personnel decisions that the public cannot accept, and we will compile these into a white paper to serve as a lesson for the future." He added, "At this point, he should quickly decide his position to preserve whatever honor remains."
