Before the hearing of candidate Kim Jin-wook, first head of the Crime Investigation Department of High-ranking Officers (hereinafter, the Ministry of Public Affairs), mixed reactions are emerging about the reputation of candidate Kim in the legal profession .
According to the legal community on the 31st, candidate Kim had a calm and introverted personality, did not fit the position of chief of public transport and contradicted opinions that he was the right person because he had no political color and was reasonable.
“(Candidate Kim) was unusual and introverted,” said a lawyer Kim had met while working as an attorney at the Kim & Chang law firm for 12 years. “When I said that I was the chief of the airlift, I was a little taken aback.”
Candidate Kim’s motive for training as a lawyer also stated: “It was not an active style or leader.”
In fact, following the announcement of this candidate, it was reported that among the trainees’ classmates, there were not a few reactions that it was surprising that the candidate Kim, a school ‘style’, was nominated for the airlift leadership.
In the 1999 ‘Mint Corporation Strike Initiation Case’, even among attorneys who worked with candidate Kim and special prosecutors, it was said “not suitable for the head of public affairs.”
An official who was familiar with the situation at the time argued that when civilian investigators initiated the collective resignation due to a special impeachment fight, candidate Kim appeared to be on the side of the prosecution and to stand aside.
The official recalled that “while the special prosecutor reached a conclusion that he was withdrawing from the prosecutor’s investigation, candidate Kim was working as a member of the ‘Hwang Gyo-an investigation team,'” he recalled.
The official from the candidate’s office explained: “At that time, as a third party, I did not want to intervene” and “It is not true that I was on the side of the prosecution.” It is explained that he did not proceed actively because he feared that the special prosecutor’s office would break as long as the investigation period was not too long.
On the contrary, the public opinion that Kim evaluates him as the right person for the chief of the airlift is that he has no political color and is reasonable.
A deputy judge of the Superior Court, the reason for the training center of the candidate Kim, said: “The most problematic is the political neutrality in the airborne office, and I think he was the best option. It will be done.”
He also praised his “constitutional rehabilitation”, saying, “If you go to Constitutional Court while working as a lawyer for Kim & Chang, you can make a joke that” a zero is missing from your salary. “
Another lawyer close to candidate Kim also said: “I have never seen anyone speak ill of candidate Kim” and said: “A person who faithfully listens to the opinions of other people without prejudice.”
In addition, there is an assessment that he has his own background because he has thesis writing experience such as “ Critique of precedents focused on the reasons for the impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye. Candidate Kim has written articles such as ‘An Approach to Protecting Liberty Before Residency’ and ‘Constitutional Principles of Equality and Equal Evaluation Standards’.
