The President's Office accused Kim Jong Un of defamation against his wife Kim Kun-hee... Supreme Court rules that ”operational regulations must be made public” (South Korea)

In response to the allegations against Kim Gun-Hee, the wife of President Yoon Seok-yeol, the Presidential Office has launched legal action, and has made public the operating rules for the Presidential Office.
According to legal circles on the 14th, the third division of the Supreme Court decided to overturn the lawsuit filed by the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy against the Chief of Staff of the President to refuse to disclose information.
The ruling in favor of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit was finalized the day before by dismissing the motion for non-continuance of the trial. Prior to this, the Presidential Office had filed a lawsuit against Kim Eui-gyeom, who had filed a lawsuit against Kim for stock price manipulation in January 2023.
In response, the Democratic Party has filed a defamation lawsuit against a lawmaker from the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party has expressed doubts about whether the legal secretary's office, which assists the president, can file a lawsuit regarding Kim's personal affairs, saying,
The Presidential Office has requested disclosure of information on the "Rules for the Operation of the Presidential Secretariat." However, the Presidential Office is concerned that if the internal rules include security matters and are made public, it could hinder the fair execution of its duties.
The government decided to keep the information confidential, and the Solidarity for Participatory Democracy filed a lawsuit. In the first and second hearings, the court ruled that it was difficult to recognize any disruption to work, and that it was unclear what procedures each department in the secretariat would follow to handle the work.
This is a matter of public interest that requires public oversight and control," and the Supreme Court upheld the ruling.
"We demand that the list of Presidential Office staff and operating regulations be made public immediately in accordance with the Supreme Court's final ruling."
