President Lee Jae Myung is considering selecting a justice minister nominee from between two prosecutor-turned-lawmakers, after his previous pick withdrew last month over lobbying allegations, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. The reports do not name the two lawmakers or give a timeline for a decision. Korean reaction is not covered in the supplied documents, which focus on the presidential deliberation rather than public or political commentary.
