[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] The Democratic Party of Korea criticized on the 10th regarding the confirmation hearing of Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon, stating that "through the confirmation hearing, circumstances of building credentials for foreign university admissions for the minister's children that violate common sense and ethics have been revealed."


Oh Young-hwan, the Democratic Party floor spokesperson, said in a written briefing on the same day, "Yesterday, candidate Han shamelessly explained that there was no fact or plan of using these for admissions," and pointed out, "His attitude is that since the crime is not completed, there is no problem."


Oh also noted, "The reason the public is paying attention to candidate Han's children's credential building is because whether unfair methods such as parental advantage, falsehood, or exaggeration were used is a standard for verifying high-ranking public officials," and criticized, "Candidate Han has not explained any of these suspicions."

In particular, regarding the remark by Kwon Seong-dong, the People Power Party floor leader, that "Although there is clearly a difference in the level of education received depending on the parents' wealth, that can never be a disqualification for a minister," Oh criticized, "I ask if they do not see the young people who despair at the reality where they must accept disparities from the start, divided into gold spoons and dirt spoons depending on their parents' economic power and connections."



He continued, "The People Power Party should stop defending candidate Han Dong-hoon, who shamelessly explains even the suspicious irregular credential building, and now show standards that align with fairness and common sense."
