flag South Korea's Democratic Party proposes expanding its Supreme Court to 26 justices and restructuring it to boost transparency and oversight.

flag On October 21, 2025, South Korea’s Democratic Party introduced a major judicial reform package proposing to expand the Supreme Court from 14 to 26 justices over three years, adding 12 justices, and restructuring the court into six divisions. flag The plan, aimed at increasing transparency and curbing judicial overreach, includes changes to nomination committees, reduced chief justice authority, and improved public access to court rulings. flag It also proposes allowing the Constitutional Court to review Supreme Court decisions, potentially creating a four-tier system. flag The party seeks to pass the reforms during the current legislative session, but the plan faces criticism from opposition parties and legal experts over concerns about political interference, institutional stability, and workload capacity.
