[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The People Power Party has stated that it will thoroughly scrutinize the newly appointed ministers, including Byun Chang-heum, the nominee for Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and Jeon Hae-cheol, the candidate for Minister of the Interior and Safety, during the confirmation hearings.

On the 6th, Bae Jun-young, spokesperson for the People Power Party, said in a statement, "This reshuffle is centered not on the 'consumers,' the people, but on the 'suppliers,' the government."

Regarding candidate Jeon, Spokesperson Bae pointed out, "Ahead of next year's by-elections in Seoul and Busan, a minister who had no particular demands was dismissed and a key figure from the pro-Moon faction was brought in," adding, "Putting aside the specter of the Ulsan election incident, there are growing concerns about the management of fair elections."

Regarding candidate Byun, he criticized, "At a time when a major shift in real estate policy is urgently needed, the core of the 'Kim Soo-hyun faction,' known for strengthening regulations, was instead appointed," and added, "Despite 24 major failures so far, we only hope this does not become 'Kim Hyun-mi Season 2.'"

Spokesperson Bae said, "The reshuffle was carried out not at a time and for targets urgently needed by the people, but at a time and for targets convenient for the regime," and added, "We will thoroughly verify the ministerial candidates through the confirmation hearings held during the extraordinary session of the National Assembly."
