President Moon Jae-in nominated two new justices to the Constitutional Court on Wednesday. 

Moon Hyung-bae, age 54, currently serves as a senior judge at Busan High Court, while Lee Mi-sun, age 49, is a senior judge at the Seoul Central District Court.

They have been tapped to replace outgoing justices Cho Yong-ho and Suh Ki-suk, whose six-year terms end on April 18th.

The nominations will require parliamentary confirmation hearings. 

Since it typically takes about a month until nominated justices are appointed, concerns had been raised about a potential vacuum in the court.
