Cheong Wa Dae has rejected Chief Justice Jo Hee-dae's nomination of a Supreme Court justice candidate and called for a new submission. Jo is likely either to re-submit one of the previously recommended candidates or to form a new Supreme Court Justice Candidate Recommendation Committee and restart the nomination process. Pictured is the Supreme Court in Seocho-gu, Seoul, on Monday morning. Jo did not come to work that day due to the death of his father.
