[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The confirmation hearing for Prime Minister nominee Han Deok-su, which faced disruptions for two consecutive days, is scheduled to be held on the 2nd and 3rd of next month.

The office of Kang Byung-won, the Democratic Party's secretary of the confirmation special committee, announced, "A meeting to change the schedule for the hearing will be held at 11:20 a.m. on the 27th."

The hearing originally scheduled for the 25th and 26th could not take place due to a standoff between the ruling and opposition parties over inadequate submission of materials. Although the hearing convened at 10 a.m. that day, members from the Democratic Party and the Justice Party collectively boycotted, leading to an adjournment after just 30 minutes.
