[Financial News] On the 22nd, Cheong Wa Dae criticized Cho Hee-dae, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Korea, for refusing a request to renominate a Supreme Court Justice candidate. "It is difficult to discern the intent behind the Chief Justice alone saying, 'I don't know because the document does not contain that information,' when the reason for the rejection is known to everyone," it said.
In a media notice issued that day, Cheong Wa Dae stated, "The constitutional grounds for rejecting the nomination were clearly stated in the official document, and the specific reasons were explained in detail to the public through a briefing by the senior spokesperson."
