My Take

Kim Myeong-su fascinates me because he isn't an entertainer at all but a jurist who rose to become the 16th Chief Justice of Korea's Supreme Court, serving from 2017 to 2023. From a Busan high school to the very summit of the judiciary is a remarkable arc, and I find his presence here a welcome reminder that public life extends far beyond the spotlight. A Libra, fittingly, for someone whose job was weighing competing truths. I respect the discipline such a path demands. The people who hold up a nation's institutions rarely get applause, and that quiet gravity is exactly why he earns my admiration.
