‘검은 목요일’...코스피·코스닥, 7%대 폭락

Original Korean Read in English

Former law chief Han Kyung-soo appeared before the National Assembly's Law and Justice Committee on Wednesday, amid multiple criminal allegations against him. Despite being called as a regular witness, Han refused to take the stand and even rejected a subpoena. The committee chairman, however, allowed him to leave the premises without complying with the summons, only to return later to make a brief statement.

Han's actions have been described as contemptuous of constitutional principles and legal norms, and at least seven criminal charges have been brought against him. The public is increasingly calling for his indictment and investigation to ensure he is held accountable for violating the constitution and laws.
