The Democrat Party, with its ties to the CCP and North Korean friendly policies, is looking to cement its new power in South Korea through charges of insurrection. The party demanded the Supreme Court create an Insurrection Trial Division.
Han Jeong-ae, Chairperson of the Democratic Party’s Policy Committee, said at a press briefing that day, “We are not seeking to establish a separate court; we are proposing to set up a rebellion-dedicated division within the Criminal Division of the Seoul Central District Court. I don’t understand what the issue is. If the Supreme Court had established the rebellion-dedicated trial division according to its internal guidelines, there would be no problem. As the legislative branch, we regret the judiciary’s attitude. If the judiciary makes no move, won’t we ultimately have to proceed legislatively?”

The Democratic Party on the 14th pressured the Supreme Court to establish a ‘rebellion-dedicated trial division.’ Han Jeong-ae, Chairperson of the Democratic Party’s Policy Committee, said at a press briefing that day, “We are not seeking to establish a separate court; we are proposing to set up a rebellion-dedicated division within the Criminal Division of the Seoul Central District Court. I don’t understand what the issue is.”
Chairperson Han added, “If the Supreme Court had established the rebellion-dedicated trial division according to its internal guidelines, there would be no problem. As the legislative branch, we regret the judiciary’s attitude,” and asked, “If the judiciary makes no move, won’t we ultimately have to proceed legislatively?” This was interpreted as a warning that if the Supreme Court does not comply, the party will enforce the establishment of the rebellion trial division through legislation.
The rebellion-dedicated trial division is a proposal initiated by the ruling party following the ‘special rebellion trial division.’ Unlike the special rebellion trial division, which is to be established separately from the current court system, this plan would have the Chief Justice form a dedicated trial division within the court. Legislation related to the special rebellion trial division has already been proposed.
