[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seok-jin, Legal Affairs Specialist] Yoo Nam-seok, Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, announced that he will actively and proactively respond to rapidly changing social issues while anticipating new demands for constitutional adjudication.

In his New Year's address released on the 31st, Chief Justice Yoo said, "There is a saying, Toyeongsamgul (兎營三窟), meaning a clever rabbit prepares three burrows in advance to prepare for crises," adding, "In the Year of the Rabbit, the Constitutional Court will not only anticipate new demands for constitutional adjudication but also actively and proactively address various rapidly changing social issues."

He stated, "This year marks the 35th anniversary of the Constitutional Court's founding," and added, "I believe that the reason the Court has been able to faithfully adjudicate socially significant cases is thanks to the public's expectations, trust, and love for the Constitutional Court."

Chief Justice Yoo also said, "Through the authority granted by the people for constitutional adjudication, the Court will do its utmost to help our society heal conflicts and move toward harmony, as well as to further mature the rule of law and democracy."
