Chief Justice-Presidential Office Clash Over Resubmission of Supreme Court Justice Nominations

Coins are classified as 'other income' and are subject to a 22% tax rate, similar to lotteries, but the National Tax Service faces limitations in understanding individuals' real-time holdings and capital gains.

The effectiveness of the system is low as it relies on voluntary reporting for assets held overseas, and these realistic limitations are emerging as problems in crypto taxation.

It is argued that the establishment of a financial asset protection law to protect crypto investors must precede the introduction of taxation.

The anonymity of blockchain technology and borderless asset movement, making capital gains virtually impossible to track, also served as a basis for criticism.

Due to the anonymous and borderless nature of blockchain-based asset movement, it is virtually impossible for the National Tax Service to track capital gains from cryptocurrencies.

Public officials of financial authorities are restricted from re-employment in related financial institutions due to the nature of their regulatory duties.

However, controversy arose when a director who handled crypto-related tasks at the Financial Supervisory Service immediately moved to a senior position at a crypto exchange.

This is linked to the regulatory vacuum that existed when crypto was not classified as finance during his public service, leading to accusations of moral hazard.

The move of a regulatory official to a regulated entity is interpreted as a problem of public ethics, alongside systemic inadequacies.

Jang Ye-chan, former Supreme Youth Council Member of the People Power Party, pointed out that despite the morning broadcasts of 3ProTV's YouTube channel garnering 500,000 to 600,000 views and afternoon broadcasts 300,000 views, there were only 1 to 2 comments.

He expressed skepticism about the cause of this phenomenon, calling it an abnormal indicator that is very different from the community response of typical YouTube channels.

He concluded the situation with a lighthearted atmosphere during the broadcast, clarifying his stance on past remarks.

The background to this public apology during a live broadcast watched by 8,000 viewers was presented.

The Supreme Court spokesperson officially announced that they cannot comply with the resubmission request, and the perceived difference in the Chief Justice's right to resubmit versus the President's appointment power is escalating into a constitutional clash.

The Supreme Court highlighted the complete absence of constitutional basis and specific reasons to justify the resubmission request.

In response, the Presidential Office refuted this, stating that the perception of the Chief Justice's resubmission right taking precedence over the President's appointment power is unconstitutional, escalating the legal interpretation differences into a constitutional clash.

As a result, the judiciary's vacancy has exceeded 200 days.

The Blue House expressed its disapproval of the person recommended by the Supreme Court, leading to a failure in coordination during the nomination process and exacerbating the vacancy.

The list of Supreme Court justice candidates being reviewed by the Presidential Office includes the spouse of a Constitutional Court justice.

Concerns were raised about the so-called '4th court system' structure, where the Constitutional Court would again rule on matters already decided by the Supreme Court through constitutional appeals. It appears that the Supreme Court expressed an unacceptable stance due to potential conflicts of interest.

The Presidential Office characterized the Chief Justice's refusal to resubmit as an unconstitutional perception and reconfirmed the President's intention to exercise his power of appointment.

Supreme Court justices are appointed by the President after a request from the Chief Justice and consent from the National Assembly.

It is argued that the Presidential Office's involvement in the request itself lacks legal basis, leading to concerns that this could undermine the independence of the judiciary within the system of separation of powers.

Criticism also arises that it is a contradiction for the Blue House to interfere with the request when it states it will adhere to the Constitution.

They emphasized that they would uncover the truth in the upcoming parliamentary audit.

They view this as a grave violation of the separation of powers and a judicial scandal, promising to thoroughly investigate the truth in the upcoming parliamentary audit.

According to Kim Seong-yeol, former Supreme Council Member's analysis, a political intention by the opposition to rally support by establishing a common enemy is discernible.

Concerns are also raised that such judicial issues might overshadow livelihood issues, leading to a loss of government momentum.

Criticism was also raised regarding the Ministry of National Defense's lukewarm briefing stance and the government's lack of security awareness.

It is analyzed that with the President's approval rating currently falling below 20%, responding to such security issues is crucial for recovering approval ratings.

According to the host, the event was a platform to launch an offensive, characterizing the current government's state administration as economic ruin, diplomatic and security destruction, and judicial capture.

Pro-Han figures were absent citing constituency activities, but there is concern that their lack of cooperation with official party events might be perceived as a rejection of the election results.

This is interpreted as a significant movement that could affect party cohesion and future party leadership contests.

Suspicions arose that Mr. Park Si-young received 2.1 billion won and then appeared on Kim Eo-jun's YouTube channel, making statements supporting a specific candidate.

Some lawmakers who failed in the primaries officially raised suspicions of election intervention by consulting firms, criticizing it as an act that affects election results without voters' knowledge.

An example of a large sum of consulting fees paid during Chu Mi-ae's past election campaign was mentioned, and doubts about the reliability of the public opinion poll were also raised.

Criticism continued, stating that the concurrent roles of political commentators and election consulting firms are a deception of voters and an unethical act.

According to former Supreme Council Member Kim Seong-yeol, cases exploiting loopholes in the system where most election expenses are reimbursed by taxes were pointed out.

Suspicions of 'payback' were raised, where election consulting fees were excessively inflated and a portion was returned, an act aimed at exploiting the fact that most election expenses of major parties are tax-reimbursed.

Issues of accounting fraud in the Gyeonggi Provincial Party related to Assemblyman Kim Seung-won were mentioned, and demands for a thorough investigation by the National Election Commission were made.

Former Supreme Council Member Kim Seong-yeol and former Assemblywoman Jeong Eun-hye observed that the initial demeanor of this press conference was distinctly different from the previous six.

Positive evaluations emerged, noting that the President appeared earnest, calm, and apologetic to the public.

However, opinions were shared that the latter part of the content was disappointing in addressing public concerns about the current situation, such as personnel failures and plummeting approval ratings.

Communication methods tailored to public expectations and a systemic approach to personnel management are expected to be a turning point for state administration during the remaining four years of the term.

Regarding recent North Korean provocations, such as the landmine incident, a strong government response is necessary.

It was criticized that North Korea, the main culprit behind injuring or killing South Korean soldiers over the past decade, is not explicitly designated as the main enemy.

It was argued that the appeasement policy towards North Korea (Sunshine Policy) should be acknowledged as a failure, and security measures should be thoroughly enhanced.

A consensus was formed regarding young people's security anxieties and the need to improve military treatment, and calls for a shift in the government's security policy are growing.

Jang Ye-chan, former Supreme Council Member, argued that changing the attitudes of spokesperson Kang Yu-jeong and the Ministry of National Defense spokesperson would help restore government approval ratings.

However, the panelists offered a different perspective, explaining that the spokespersons' answers were based on directives from above, not personal opinions.

Criticism arose that the briefing demeanor and response style of the Ministry of National Defense spokesperson were affecting approval rating declines.

Suggestions for improvement included softening the attitudes and expressions of the spokespersons, which extends beyond individual issues to the government's overall communication style.

The appearance schedule for the Reform Party panel is being readjusted due to their involvement in general election emergency committee leadership, among other duties. This appears to be part of an attempt by various party panels to restore dialogue and compromise.
