Ruling party seeks probe of Supreme Court chief

The ruling Democratic Party has decided to push for a parliamentary investigation into Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae, with some hardliners calling for his impeachment over allegations, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. The main opposition People Power Party denounced the move, with its floor leader criticizing the decision, KBS World reports. The decision follows weeks of debate within the ruling party, which had earlier said it was considering such a probe. Korean reaction is largely political: the ruling party frames it as accountability, while the opposition calls it an attack on judicial independence.
