[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Kwon Seong-dong, floor leader of the People Power Party, said on the 10th in response to questions about the confirmation hearing for Han Dong-hoon, the nominee for Minister of Justice, "Following the Democratic Party's political offensive means lacking the qualifications to be president." This is interpreted as his intention to continue a strong confrontation even in a situation where the opposition holds the majority.

In a CBS radio interview that day, Floor Leader Kwon said, "The Democratic Party has already decided that he is a candidate to be dismissed even before verification or the hearing," adding, "Even though no problems have been revealed, they say no. Following this means lacking the qualifications to be president."

Regarding the Democratic Party selecting five candidates as unqualified, he also said, "There is no one with a convincing reason for disqualification," and criticized, "It is inappropriate to mention each candidate specifically, but it is wrong to lump them together and define them as such."

Floor Leader Kwon stated that President Yoon Seok-yeol will submit the nomination consent bill for Prime Minister nominee Han Deok-su as the first agenda item to the National Assembly. He said, "The National Assembly should promptly hold a plenary session to approve the nomination in accordance with the National Assembly Act. That is what I think," and added, "I believe that a considerable number of Democratic Party members have a conscience."
