Broadcasting Media Communications Council Reverses Appointment of Kim Sung-geun as Officer... Administrative Court Recommendation

The Broadcasting Media Communications Council reversed its appointment of Kim Sung-geun as an officer of the Broadcasting Communications Council following the Seoul Administrative Court's recommendation. Previously, in April, the court had ordered the council to revoke the appointment and dismiss the lawsuit against the former chairman's removal. The council cited confirmed findings that the dismissal of Kwon Tae-seon was unjustified, rendering the subsequent interim appointment unlawful. President Kim Jong-chul emphasized that administrative agencies must adhere to constitutional and legal procedures, stating the reversal reaffirms the council's commitment to rule of law.
