Ask what Korea is talking about.

President Lee Jae Myung nominated Defense Acquisition Program Administration chief Lee Yong-cheol as justice minister on Nov. 6, after the post had been vacant for over two months. Lee, a former prosecutor, vowed to see prosecutorial reform through to completion and ensure the smooth implementation of the new criminal justice system, according to Yonhap and KBS World. The nomination follows the withdrawal of the previous pick last month over lobbying allegations, as reported by the Korea Times.However, the broader political context includes internal ruling party divisions over a separate Shincheonji claim reversal, as covered by the Korea Times and Yonhap, but this is not directly tied to the justice minister nominee.
