The Assembly endorsed the confirmation motion during a plenary session, with 13 members abstaining from the vote. Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae recommended Kim to President Lee Jae Myung for appointment as the successor to former Supreme Court Justice Lee Heung-ku. Kim's parliamentary confirmation hearing took place on Monday, and rival parties adopted his confirmation hearing report on Wednesday.
