"One Judge Saves Supreme Court Chief Justice Candidate"

Through Facebook on the same day, Mayor Hong said, "The case of Representative Lee Jae-myung, who was at the center of corruption scandals for the past two years, ended last night with the dismissal of the arrest warrant, resulting in a non-custodial conclusion. Although it feels like a dog chasing a chicken looking at the roof, the People Power Party now needs to abandon the prosecution investigation politics that only cling to Lee Jae-myung and show a transformation into a ruling party worthy of its name with policies."



Mayor Hong added, "Regarding the Supreme Court Chief Justice confirmation issue, I saw the possibility of the warrant issuance as fifty-fifty, but anyway, one judge in charge of the warrant made a shocking decision to save the wavering Supreme Court Chief Justice candidate."
