The Democratic Party of Korea criticizes Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae for violating the president's appointment power and committing personnel corruption, urging him to resign. While the party advocates for Cho's voluntary resignation, it is taking a cautious stance on impeachment. This is analyzed as being due to concerns about a decline in party approval ratings and controversy over grounds for impeachment. However, with suspicions raised that Cho interfered in the nominee recommendation process, the possibility of impeachment is resurfacing. Within the Democratic Party, some are citing the alleged violation of judicial power during the process of vacating and remanding the case of President Lee Jae-myung's violation of the Public Official Election Act, as well as suspicions of collusion with the rebellion immediately after the declaration of martial law on December 12, as grounds for impeachment.
