The senior aides of the Presidential Office had collectively resigned immediately after the emergency martial law was lifted on December 4 of last year, and in January, they also collectively resigned in protest against the appointments of Jeong Gye-seon and Jo Han-chang as Constitutional Court justices by then Acting President and Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Choi Sang-mok.
