Senior Judge Seong-geun Lim served as Chief Criminal Chief at the Seoul Central District Court for two years from 2014.

At that time, the suspicion that he had intervened in three other trials that he was not in charge of was raised, and he was designated as a Judge Nongdan.

Judge Im Seong-geun was actually close enough to be included in the preparation team for the personnel hearing of Supreme Court Chief Kim Myung-soo.

The reason that Judge Seong-geun Lim had a conversation with Supreme Court Chief Kim Myung-soo and even recorded secretly seems to have considered various situations in which he was at the time.

The fact that the Supreme Court Chief's lies and Judge Seong-geun Lim's release of the recorded file are considered disastrous to front-line judges.

May of last year, when Deputy Chief Justice Seong-geun Lim visited the Office of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, it was three months after he was tried as a judicial nongdan and was acquitted at the first trial.



Judge Lim argued that he had already been punished by the court two years ago and had already decided to withdraw from the judiciary because his health was very poor after he was excluded from the trial for three years.



So, when he announced his intention to resign, he explained that the contents of the interview were recorded to accurately understand the intention of the Supreme Court Chief Justice, hearing that Chief Justice Kim Myung-soo was negative.



However, after seeing the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court making a false explanation about the incident, he said that the transcript was released to correct the facts.



Nevertheless, Judge Lim's release of the transcript file was enough to shock the frontline judges.



There were many reactions that the claim that the Supreme Court chief had seen the politicians' notice turned out to be true, and that the chief justice of the judiciary clarified with a lie and destroyed the image of the judiciary.



Depending on the political situation, there were also reactions that the courts were staggering.



Some pointed out that the behavior of Judge Lim, who recorded the conversation with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and disclosed it, is an unbelievable behavior in the judiciary community.
