  "summary": "The ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) in South Korea has decided to seek a parliamentary investigation into Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae amid impeachment calls. The party's lawmakers agreed to push for the probe during a general meeting, with the aim of passing a related motion at a parliamentary plenary session scheduled for the following week. The DPK has accused Cho of meddling in the 2022 presidential election after the Supreme Court overturned a not-guilty verdict in President Lee Jae Myung's election law violation case, just ahead of the June 3 presidential election. The party also took issue with Cho's refusal to recommend a new candidate for Supreme Court justice and alleged improper use of official funds.",
