,
, ‘During the confirmation hearing, nominee Noh stated through his opening statement, “In a society dominated by majority rule, I always wanted to remember that the legitimate rights of minorities and socially disadvantaged individuals need to be protected.”‘,
,
, ‘Nominee Noh also acknowledged, “I am well aware that despite efforts made by our judiciary, it still lacks sufficient trust from the public,” and added, “Having lived as a judge for 27 years, I also feel a heavy responsibility.”‘,
,
, ‘According to political sources, prior to the confirmation hearing, nominee Noh expressed his views in a written response submitted to the National Assembly the day before when asked by Baek Hye-ryeon, a lawmaker from the Democratic Party, about “the nominee’s stance on high-ranking officials, including the president’s spouse, receiving luxury goods under the pretext of personnel assignments.” He replied, “Based on specific factual relationships, including personal relationships and affinities, there may be differences, but (family members of high-ranking officials) should generally not receive goods for personnel assignments.”‘,
,
, ‘Regarding criticisms that the exercise of the President’s power of judicial review (disapproval) is excessive, he said, “The President’s power of judicial review should be exercised in accordance with constitutional principles, respected as much as possible if it aligns with that principle, but should not be abused.”‘,
