“If you agree with this regime’s’Do not ask, the launch of the airlift,’ we will all be recorded as sinners in history.”
On the eve of Christmas, on the 24th, Ho-Young Joo, head of the People’s Power, wrote in a letter to some members of the Candidate Recommendation Committee, the first deputy chief of the High-ranking Officials Crime Investigation Service (KPA), saying, “(Recommendation Committee) should not rush.

It is said that the recipients that the main hospital representative had in mind were Cho Jae-yeon, Chief Justice of the Court Administration, and Lee Chan-hee, Chairman of the Korean Bar Association. This is because the direction of the decision of the nomination committee scheduled for the 28th depends on the two members of the nominating committee. On the 15th, the Airborne Justice Act was revised so that a candidate for the Airborne Minister could be determined if there was more than two-thirds of the votes in favor of the quorum of the vote. Excluding Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae, among the ex officio members, there are only two places the opposition party will lean on.
At the previous meeting, the two said that they had voted against other people recommended by the opposition party, including lawyers Kim Kyung-soo and Kang Chan-woo. In a letter, Joo Nae representative wrote, “I ask you to make a confident decision in front of the history and the people.”
Separately, the main hospital representative also requested that Minister Chu’s absence from the recommendation committee. Joo Nae representative held a press conference on the afternoon of the 27th, and said, “Minister Chu’s illegality and solo alcohol were confirmed by the court’s ruling.” “(President) accepts the resignation of the minister right away, and (Minister Chu) attends the recommendation committee tomorrow. You shouldn’t,” he insisted. The political effect of the court’s blocking the effect of disciplinary action against Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, led by Minister Chu, is a step forward to stop the launch of the airlift.
In addition, Democratic Party member Park Gyeong-joon sent a text message to reporters on the 27th, saying, “The recommendation committee was commissioned by the National Assembly Chairman, but it is strictly an independent position to recommend candidates.” It can be seen as seriously undermining the political neutrality and independence of the recommendation committee to send content that could be unspoken pressure in the form of a letter to the committee members.”

The Democratic Party plans to finalize the selection of two candidates at the recommendation committee on the 28th. A Democratic Party official said in a phone call with the JoongAng Ilbo that day, “It is a strange situation not to select on this recommendation.” “In the past, the opposition party had veto rights, but now the law has changed, so there is room to postpone the selection of candidates and continue discussions. There is no” he said.
On the nomination committee, two of the senior researcher Kim Jin-wook and lawyer Jeon Hyun-jung of the Constitutional Court, who received the most five votes in the previous meeting, and Lee Kun-ri, vice chairman of the National Rights Commission of the National Human Rights Commission, who received four votes, are likely to be the two candidates to be recommended to President Moon. A member of the Democratic Party’s judiciary said, “On the 18th, when Minister Chu requested a postponement of the recommendation committee, there was a prospect that Chu would directly recommend a new candidate, but no new card came out.” “I will become one of the existing multiple voters. I said. On the other hand, the power of the people foretold a legal response to the decision to select a candidate without the opposition party’s consent.
