Park Soo-young "No Jeong-hee 'copy-pasted' answers in confirmation hearing... even copying principles?"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] As the confirmation hearing for nominee Noh Jeong-hee, appointed as a candidate for the Central Election Commission, was held on the 27th, allegations arose that the nominee's written responses submitted to the National Assembly were plagiarized, in accordance with Article 7, Paragraph 6 of the Confirmation Hearing Act.

On the 27th, Park Soo-young, a member of the People Power Party, revealed that during policy questioning of nominee Noh, about 60 responses were copied or entirely duplicated from the written answers of candidate Cho Seong-dae, who was appointed as a Central Election Commissioner.

In particular, it was pointed out that even questions asking about the nominee's basic principles as a Central Election Commissioner?such as ▲the candidate's conviction regarding the neutrality and fairness of the Election Commission ▲evaluation of satellite parties' participation ▲views on political participation of persons with disabilities, teachers, and youth?were answered by plagiarizing candidate Cho's written responses.

Rep. Park stated, "This is a clear example of how the current administration and the Central Election Commission regard the confirmation hearing mandated by law," adding, "It is unacceptable for a person nominated as a candidate for the Central Election Commission, a constitutional body overseeing the fair management of elections and voting, to plagiarize another candidate's values, ideology, and even basic principles as an election commissioner during the hearing, which disqualifies them from serving as a commissioner."
