Democrats' first impeachment of an inspector general, what's behind it and what's ahead?
On December 2, 2023, the Democratic Party of Korea decided to report an impeachment proposal against Auditor General Choi Jae-hae to the plenary session of the National Assembly, a first in the country's constitutional history, which has attracted considerable attention in political circles. The main reasons for the impeachment drive are considered to be Choi's poor audit of the presidential office relocation and perjury in the National Audit Office.
The Democratic Party of Korea is alleging that the auditor general, who is supposed to remain politically neutral, is feeling political pressure during the audit process. This further intensifies the expected political controversy over the audit's connection to the audit conducted by the auditor general during the Moon Jae-in administration. The impeachment move can be interpreted as part of what the Democratic Party of Korea hopes to gain from the various political conflicts.
Parliamentary impeachment process
If the impeachment motion is legally approved, the Auditor General's duties will be suspended immediately, and senior auditor Cho Eun-seok will take over. This will likely continue until the Constitutional Court makes a decision. If Choi is suspended from office, the short-term paralysis of the audit agency's functions could have a negative impact on the public. In response, the audit agency has pointed out the possibility that the impeachment drive could undermine the independence and neutrality of the audit agency.
Reactions from both parties
The People's Power is pushing back hard, denouncing the Democrats' impeachment push as “vindictive”. In the context of an escalating political standoff, this signals yet another side of the conflict. Even within the Democratic Party, there are concerns about the political fallout of the case going forward, which could affect negotiations between the ruling and opposition parties.

Looking ahead
It will be interesting to see if the impeachment proposal against Choi Jae-hae will pass, or if it will retreat in the face of political backlash. If successful, the impeachment could be a political tipping point, spurring debate about audits and the role of the auditor general in the next government. On the other hand, if the impeachment fails, the Democrats will risk losing support for their political offense.
How South Korean politics will play out over the impeachment decision and how it will affect people's lives will depend on what happens next.
