[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, criticized the possibility of postponing the confirmation hearing for Han Dong-hoon, the nominee for Minister of Justice, on the 2nd. He argued that the more the Democratic Party delays the hearing, the more it could end up strengthening the nominee.


On the same day, Lee said, "The Democratic Party's refusal to even set a date for Han Dong-hoon's hearing and now attempting to postpone it shows that they lack confidence in facing Han Dong-hoon head-on with logical arguments in front of the public amid the 검수완박 (complete removal of prosecution's investigative authority) situation," adding, "The more they delay, obstruct, and hinder Han Dong-hoon's confirmation hearing, the more the Justice Minister confirmation hearing will become a 'moment of the stars'."


Lee made these remarks while sharing an article that introduced the possibility of postponing Han's confirmation hearing schedule.

Earlier, regarding the 검수완박 law, Lee stated, "The Democratic Party should agree to discuss this issue at public hearings and the ministerial nominee's confirmation hearing so that a rational debate can take place." He expressed expectations that Han's confirmation hearing would effectively serve as a forum for discussing the 검수완박 law.
