Constitutional Court justice nominee in tears
Lee Seon-ae, a Constitutional Court justice nominee, speaks through tears while answering a lawmaker’s question about the Sewol ferry during a confirmation hearing at the National Assembly, Friday. She said: “I was very sad that the country’s system failed to protect the children’s lives.” Lee will replace retired justice Lee Jung-mi, who helped remove former President Park Geun-hye from office on March 10. She was confirmed later in the day.
