[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] The confirmation hearing for Kim Oh-soo, the nominee for Prosecutor General, was held on the 26th at the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee.


The opposition party highlighted that Kim Oh-soo, the nominee for Prosecutor General, was the last Prosecutor General under the Moon Jae-in administration, serving as a key pro-government figure while assisting former Ministers of Justice Park Sang-ki, Cho Kuk, and Choo Mi-ae. They characterized him as a Moon Jae-in administration loyalist and pointed to issues of political neutrality by emphasizing his role as Vice Minister of Justice when he requested the formation of the Cho Kuk investigation team excluding former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl.



The ruling party focused on diluting the opposition's attacks by emphasizing Kim Oh-soo's capabilities and qualifications to complete prosecutorial reforms and perform his duties effectively during the policy hearing.
