President Moon Jae-in on Tuesday appointed two new Supreme Court justices, followed by a separate ceremony for the appointment of the new prosecutor-general.

The ceremonies were held at the presidential office, Cheong Wa Dae.

In the first ceremony, the president presented the two new Supreme Court justices -- Park Jeong-hwa and Cho Jae-youn -- with certificates of their appointment.
