The Blue House denied reports on August 6 that it supports the impeachment of the Chief Justice.
Chief Presidential Secretary Kang stated in a media announcement that the Blue House does not share the sentiment expressed by Democratic Party leadership candidates Kim Min-seok and Song Young-gil regarding the push for Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae's impeachment.
Since the retirement of former Chief Justice Noh Tae-ack in March, the appointment of his successor has faced difficulties, leaving the position vacant for over five months due to ongoing coordination issues between the Blue House and the Supreme Court.
Kang added, "The appointment of a new Supreme Court Justice should be carried out promptly in accordance with relevant legal procedures."
