South Korea's largest opposition party, the Common Democratic Party, said on the 5th that the party requested the Seoul High Court to postpone the retrial of the case involving presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung until after the presidential election. If the court makes a ruling before the presidential election, Lee Jae-myung's eligibility to run for election may be affected. Yoon Ho-joong, a senior official of the Common Democratic Party Election Countermeasures Committee, said at a press conference on the same day that the party requested the Seoul High Court to make a decision to postpone the retrial of Lee Jae-myung's case 12 days ago, that is, before the presidential election canvassing campaign begins. If the court does not delay the retrial, the Common Democratic Party will mobilize the National Assembly to issue a “punishment.” According to South Korean media, Yoon Ho-joong's “punishment” means that the Common Democratic Party may push for the impeachment of South Korea's Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae.
