President-elect Yoon, Ho-Young Jeong hearing report requested to be resent by the day after tomorrow (9th)
It appears that President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol will push ahead with the appointment of Chung Ho-young as Minister of Health and Welfare. This is a request to the National Assembly again to send a hearing report that the opposition and opposition parties, including Candidate Jeong, failed to adopt by the day after tomorrow (9th). An official from the Ministry of Health and Welfare also told our reporters, “I know that I will be appointed between the 10th and 12th, and I am preparing.”
This is Park Min-gyu, staff reporter.

[정호영/보건복지부 장관 후보자 (지난 3일) : 제가 떳떳하다고 생각했기 때문에 이 자리까지 왔습니다.]
[김성주/더불어민주당 의원 (지난 3일) : 더 이상 청문회를 진행하는 것이 의미가 없다고 생각하고 저는 퇴장하겠습니다.]
The hearing was canceled and the People’s Power also requested the withdrawal of the nomination, but it is expected that the elected Yoon Seok-yeol will force the appointment.
He again requested the National Assembly to issue a hearing report by the day after the presidential inauguration.
The same is true for Candidates Won Hee-ryong, Lee Sang-min, Park Jin, Park Bo-kyun, and Lee Jong-seop, whose report was also not adopted.
So far, only four of the 19 candidates that the opposition and opposition parties have agreed on have been Choo Kyung-ho, Lee Jung-sik, Lee Jong-ho, and Han Hwa-jin.
Since there is virtually no possibility of further adoption of the report through an agreement between the ruling and opposition parties, all that remains is to force the appointment.
A high-ranking official from the Ministry of Health and Welfare also told JTBC, “I know that a candidate will be appointed between the 10th and 12th, the presidential inauguration day, and we are preparing.”
Candidate Jeong, who went down to Daegu, plans to return to the hearing preparation team on Monday to receive a report on pending issues.
Park Min-soo, head of the keynote office of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, who led the hearing preparation team by presenting about 60 cases of explanatory materials for the candidate, was appointed as secretary to the president’s office by Yoon Seok-yeol yesterday.
There are many negative opinions about the appointment of President-elect Yoon, even within the people’s power ahead of the local elections.
In an opinion poll conducted after the hearing, it was also found that more than twice as many responses as ‘inappropriate’ to Chung’s nomination were more than adequate.
