Justice Cho Jae-yeon, who was identified by some media as 'he' in the so-called Daejang-dong allegation, held a press conference and completely denied the allegations.
At a press conference held in the Supreme Court's conference room today (23rd), Justice Cho listened to a printed copy of an article that read, "He who appears in the transcript of 'Jung Young-hak' was an incumbent Supreme Court Justice' (The Hankook Ilbo reported on February 18) and said, "Absolutely unfounded. "He said.
It is the first time that an incumbent Supreme Court justice has personally held a press conference and made a statement.
He said, "I had a question about why the news of this allegation was suddenly reported on the eve of the election on the controversial case of Daejang-dong, which is controversial in the political circles. "I explained this in detail, and it wasn't much of an article at the time. Also, there was a similar inquiry about a month ago, so I explained it, and it was not published."
Justice Cho said, "I don't know whether Dae Jang Dong's true identity has been identified or whether the suspicions have been resolved."
He said, "In a broadcast debate that was broadcast live to all the people yesterday, a candidate directly named the incumbent Supreme Court Justice and mentioned the name of the incumbent Supreme Court Justice directly, saying, 'It has now been confirmed that he is Supreme Court Justice Cho Jae-yeon in relation to Hwacheon Daeyu. , an unprecedented event that has never been seen before"
