A week has passed since President Lee Jae-myung was sworn into office last Wednesday.
For more on the key takeaways from Lee's first week in office, we're joined by Professor Lee Hee-eun, Professor of Law at Handong International Law School.
Professor Lee, thanks for joining us this morning.
1. It's been a full week since President Lee took office. What's your overall assessment so far?
What would you say is the most notable difference compared to the former Yoon administration?
2. The presidential office says it will accept recommendations from the public before appointing key government officials --including those at the ministerial level.
Do you think this could help reduce controversies surrounding the appointment process?
3. Plans to dramatically expand the Supreme Court have sparked controversy.
What's your take on increasing the number of justices?
4. The Cabinet approved three special prosecution bills on Tuesday, which will include an investigation into former President Yoon's martial law declaration.
What are your thoughts on this?
5. President Lee is also facing several trials, but two have been postponed indefinitely, with the court citing Article 84 of the Constitution.
Could you briefly explain what Article 84 is, and share your legal analysis on this issue?
Alright, Professor Lee thank you so much for your insight today.
We appreciate it.
