Ask what Korea is talking about.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued a new arrest warrant for jailed former first lady Kim Keon-hee, extending her detention for two more months beyond October, citing risks of flight and evidence destruction. Yonhap reports the top court convened a hearing that day, where Kim spoke for about 15 minutes arguing for release, before the warrant was issued. The ruling Democratic Party has since decided to seek a parliamentary probe into Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae, with some calling for impeachment, while the opposition People Power Party denounced the move.
