Park Sung-jae (Korean: 박성재) is a South Korean lawyer and politician. An independent, he served as the minister of justice of South Korea from 2024 to 2025. On 12 December 2024, the National Assembly passed impeachment motions against Park and KNP Commissioner Cho Ji-ho, accusing them of their alleged roles in the controversial declaration of emergency martial law by President Yoon Suk Yeol. The passed impeachment motions led to Park and Cho being suspended immediately from their office duties. Preparatory hearings on whether to uphold or lift Park's removal were held by the Constitutional Court of Korea beginning on 24 February 2025. On 10 April, the court dismissed the impeachment motion in an 8-0 vote, thereby reinstating him immediately. After Lee Jae-myung was sworn in as president of South Korea on 4 June 2025, the entirety of Yoon's cabinet expressed their will of resignation. Lee refused the resignations except for Park's.
