DPK moves to probe Supreme Court chief amid impeachment calls

The ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) has decided to seek a parliamentary investigation into Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae, with some hardliners calling for his impeachment over allegations. The decision was announced Tuesday by floor spokesperson Jeon Eun-su, according to Korea Times and KBS World. The main opposition People Power Party (PPP) denounced the move, with its floor leader criticizing the ruling party's action. The probe comes amid ongoing debate within the DPK over whether to pursue impeachment, as reported by Korea Times on Oct. 21. Yonhap also confirmed the decision on Oct. 27. Korean reaction is split along party lines: the DPK frames it as accountability, while the PPP calls it a political attack.
