Nominee for a Supreme Court justice position, Kim Sung-soo, has pledged to make efforts to ensure the judiciary keeps pace with the rapidly changing times, according to his parliamentary confirmation hearing at the National Assembly. President Lee Jae Myung had initially recommended his nomination to the parliament for approval.
Kim emphasized the importance of not falling behind societal changes, stating that he will contribute to the judiciary's ability to adapt, even in a small way. He noted that society is rapidly evolving and the judiciary, which safeguards individual rights, should not lag behind. In September, Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae recommended Kim and another judge for the top court position to the president.
However, the presidential office only referred Kim to the National Assembly for approval, citing that the other judge's recommendation lacked "procedural completeness."
