The Presidential Transition Committee has decided to receive the Ministry of Justice's work report on the afternoon of the 29th.

Lee Yong-ho, the secretary of the Political, Judicial, and Administrative Affairs Subcommittee of the Transition Committee, said at a press briefing at the Transition Committee press room in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, on the afternoon of the 27th, "It has been decided to receive the Ministry of Justice's work report next Tuesday at 2 p.m."

The Ministry of Justice's work report was originally scheduled for the 24th, but the schedule was postponed after Minister of Justice Park Beom-gye expressed opposition to President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol's judicial reform pledge at a press conference the day before the work report, which led to backlash from the Transition Committee.

Secretary Lee Yong-ho said at the time, "We judged that the Ministry of Justice's work report scheduled for this morning was meaningless, and we thought it necessary to have a cooling-off period and time for reflection, so we notified the Ministry of Justice of the postponement of the work report schedule."

Regarding the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Unit (Gongu-cheo), which has not yet submitted a work report, it is known that the schedule is being coordinated.

Choi Ji-hyun, the chief deputy spokesperson of the Transition Committee, said at a press briefing that day, "The schedule for the Gongu-cheo briefing is being coordinated," adding, "We are communicating with Gongu-cheo."
