[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] It has been reported that the ruling Democratic Party has settled on recommending two candidates for the inaugural head of the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office (HOCI).


According to the Democratic Party on the 8th, ruling party recommendation committee members Professor Kim Jong-cheol of Yonsei University and lawyer Park Kyung-jun have tentatively decided to jointly recommend two candidates.


The ruling party recommendation committee members initially considered recommending three to four candidates, but after some declined, they ultimately selected two.



In addition to the ruling party recommendation committee, it is known that there is a shortage of suitable candidates, as it is difficult to find individuals meeting the criteria, and many legal professionals decline due to the burden involved.
