[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] The Democratic Party of Korea criticized Han Dong-hoon, the nominee for Minister of Justice, on the 8th, saying, "The candidate should point the blade he aimed at others at himself" and questioned, "Does he think he is qualified to be the minister responsible for upholding the rule of law in the Republic of Korea?"

Lee Su-jin, the Democratic Party floor spokesperson, stated in a commentary at the National Assembly on the same day, "Tomorrow, the confirmation hearing for Han Dong-hoon, the nominee for Minister of Justice, is scheduled," adding, "Beyond the suspicions of conflict of interest, false address registration, and violations of the Farmland Act, the controversy over ‘parental chance’ is growing even larger. This is not just a simple family chance issue but has escalated into a criminal law matter."

Regarding this, the spokesperson pointed out, "A person who selectively uses the law, which should be equal to all, is not qualified to be the Minister of Justice."

He also criticized President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol’s move to push forward cabinet appointments.

He said, "The president-elect insists on Han Duck-soo, who has already been judged ‘unqualified’ by the public verification process as the prime minister of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration," and criticized, "He is requesting the National Assembly to resend the confirmation hearing report for the ministerial nominees and is taking steps to force the appointment of a ‘Gigachan (corporate family chance) cabinet.’"

The spokesperson further criticized, saying, "Yoon Seok-yeol’s statement that ‘we will go even without a prime minister’ is a threat to the people," and added, "The next president, who must bear unlimited responsibility for state affairs, is instead forcing unilateral responsibility on the National Assembly and the public." He sarcastically asked, "Is there truly no one else suitable to be the prime minister of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration other than ‘Kim & Chang’ legal advisor and the ‘revolving door’ nominee Han Duck-soo?"
