Seoul: South Korean opposition leader Hwang Kyo-ahn on Monday shaved his head in front of President's office in Seoul demanding removal Justice Minister Cho Kuk.
Leader of South Korea's opposition Liberty, Hwang Kyo-ahn said, "I am here today to fight against the President Moon Jae-in administration's tyranny, as the leader of the opposition party and a citizen. I am here today to express my will by shaving my hair off."
Hwang expressed anger towards President Moon, who he said was abusing his power by choosing a 'criminal' to represent justice ministry.
Cho was sworn in as Moon administration's second justice minister, despite his alleged involvement in a family corruption scandal.
Cho is accused of using his and his family's influence to get his daughter accepted into an elite university.
The allegation has caused public outcry in a country where college entrance is a sensitive issue.
