The court did not accept the demand from the Gwangbokhoe to halt the effect of Kim Hyung-seok's appointment as director of the Independence Hall.


The Administrative Division 2 of the Seoul Administrative Court (Chief Judge Go Eun-seol) dismissed the injunction application filed by Gwangbokhoe on the 27th, which requested to "suspend the effect of Director Kim's appointment" against President Yoon Seok-yeol. Dismissal is a procedure that concludes the case without substantive judgment when the claim itself does not meet the legal requirements.


The applications filed on the same grounds by Kim Jin, vice chairman of Gwangbokhoe and a candidate who applied but was rejected for the Independence Hall director position, and Kim Jeong-myeong, distinguished professor at Seoul National University of Science and Technology Graduate School, were also dismissed.



Earlier, Gwangbokhoe and others filed a lawsuit and an injunction application, claiming procedural defects in the process when the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs appointed Director Kim.
