On June 22, the 42-year-old judge from Ulsan was in Seoul for a judicial training program. It was reported that after attending the program, he engaged in prostitution at a studio apartment in the Gangnam area.

The Judicial Disciplinary Committee, composed of Supreme Court justices, external lawyers, and law professors, explained that this action damagea judge’s dignity and lowered the court’s prestigert. When a judge violates their duty or damages their dignity in the course of duty, they can face one of three disciplinary actions: reprimand, salary reduction, or suspension. A suspension for one year is the most severe level of discipline.

According to the Judges’ Disciplinary Act, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court makes disciplinary decisions for the respective judge and publishes the results in an official report for public disclosure. On August 23, the court announced that they decided to suspend the judge for three months.

Regarding this disciplinary action, they mentioned that it happened during his personal time, not work time.

This incident occurred while the judge was returning home after the judicial training, so it would not apply if the judge had left the workplace without valid reason. However, we took into account the fact that the judge did not return home immediately and engaged in prostitution.

When Korean netizens heard about the judge’s three-month suspension, they were astonished at how light the punishment was.
