The Supreme Court decided to expand the interview center to prevent disputes over child disputes caused by the case of Yu-jeong, 36, who is being tried for murdering her ex-husband.

Mr. Ko suffered severe conflicts, including a lawsuit with his ex-husband over interviews with his son. In May, he killed his husband at a pension on Jeju Island, an interview site.

The Supreme Court announced on Tuesday that it plans to expand and add an interview center that protects the rights of interviewees after their divorce and protects their right to interview children.

The Supreme Court held a briefing session on September 20 at the Seoul Family Court to expand and add an interview center to nine court officials.

The Interview Bargaining Center is currently operated in three family courts nationwide: Seoul, Incheon, and Gwangju.

The Supreme Court is actively considering the expansion and addition of the Daegu and Suwon Family Courts in early 2020.

The Interview Bargaining Center is a family court facility for parents and children whose interviews cannot be facilitated due to intensified parental conflicts and deteriorating family relationships.

It is a neutral safety zone where stable cases can be held for interviews between parties whose cases are ongoing or finished in the court, and those who have no current cases but are keenly controversial.

A Supreme Court official said, "It will be a safeguard to protect the well-being of children while preventing the conflict and deterioration of family relations that can continue after divorce, and improving the living adaptability of parents and children who have experienced divorce.
