  "summary": "The National Conference of Judges, originally scheduled for December 7, has been moved up to November 30 in response to calls for judicial independence amid criticism from the ruling party. The conference, which was initially set to discuss the judiciary's independence, will now gather a representative group of judges from nationwide courts to address concerns raised by the Democratic Party of Korea (DPK). The DPK has been pushing for a parliamentary probe into Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae, accusing him of interfering in politics following the Supreme Court's handling of President Lee Jae Myung's election law violation case.",
