Im Seong-geun, chief judge of the Busan High Court, who is in a battle with Supreme Court Chief Kim Myung-soo over whether or not to remark on impeachment, released a transcript of the conversation with Chief Justice Kim. On the 4th, Vice-President Judge Lim’s lawyer released three 26-38 second transcripts of the conversation between the two. Listening to the transcript, Chief Justice Kim, who is known to have expressed his appreciation, said to Judge Im, who was known to have expressed his appreciation, “If you talk openly, you should impeach it now. I don’t have the idea that it should be impeachment, but it’s political and the situation is a different matter. If you just fix it today so you can’t even bring out the word of impeachment, you won’t be able to talk about impeachment. I don’t think it’s very appropriate to be accused of that.” Judge Lim said that the file that was released on the day was a transcript of a conversation he had while meeting with Chief Justice Kim in May of last year to express his gratitude. Earlier, the Supreme Court and Deputy Chief Justice Lim had been fighting over the content that Chief Justice Kim rejected Chief Justice Lim’s resignation and talked about the impeachment of the National Assembly. Deputy Judge Im’s lawyer said on the 3rd, “At the time of the interview, Supreme Court Chief Kim said,’If the resignation is accepted, the National Assembly may not be able to discuss impeachment. The Supreme Court said, “I will do it on my own whether or not to accept it.” . The transcript, which was released after a day of refutation, seems inevitable in criticism that Supreme Court Chief Kim and Supreme Court gave false explanations. Apart from the facts, the fact that the vice-presiding judge recorded the conversation he had in the interview with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is also being advocated inside and outside the court. Below is a transcript released by Judge Lim.
■File 1 (32 seconds) There is a system called impeachment. (Yes) I don’t think it’s realistic or that it should be impeachment, but it’s a political thing and the situation is a different matter. (Yes) If you just fix it today so you can’t even tell you about impeachment, you won’t be able to talk about impeachment. (Yes) I thought that receiving such criticism was very inappropriate. ■File 2 (38 seconds) Now submit to accept the resignation Aside from such legal matters, I have to think about it as it has various influences, right. (That’s right) Among them, you have to look at the political situation. I said it last time, but I like the fact that Manager Lim resigns (Yes). I have to think a lot about it, and I have to watch various situations. If you do, what will you hear from the National Assembly, right? (Yes) And besides, in the case of Director Lim, the term of office is actually short, and he was not guilty at the first trial.
