The Democratic Party of Korea, after a lengthy filibuster, has successfully passed the 'Judicial Three Laws'—which include the law against legal distortion, the trial request system, and the law on increasing Supreme Court justices. Party leader Jeong Cheong-rae declared this achievement as having 'written a page in history,' asserting the importance of the reforms in the context of public sentiment. Jeong emphasized that the passage of these laws has been made possible by the current administration under President Lee Jae-myung, showcasing the party's narrative of positive change and reform in governance.

In addition to the legislative success, the Democratic Party is intensifying pressure on Chief Justice Jo Hee-dae to resign, suggesting that his leadership has lost credibility particularly during critical events like the Seoul Western District Court incident. Jeong and other party officials are publicly stating that it's common sense for Jo to step down, arguing that he has forfeited his leadership and authority. This sentiment is mirrored in the potential threat of impeachment proceedings, indicating a severe rift between the judiciary and the ruling party, creating an atmosphere of uncertainty and concern within the judicial system.

The judiciary, however, appears to be maintaining its stance in light of these developments; there have been no immediate moves for Jo's resignation despite the pressure from the ruling party. A Supreme Court spokesperson indicated that there is still considerable uncertainty regarding the external and internal impacts of the judicial reforms. The courts seem to be struggling with feelings of helplessness amid the rapid legislative changes imposed by the Democratic Party, and they are exploring potential strategies to cope with the implications of the 'Judicial Three Laws' on their operations and the overall legal landscape in South Korea.
