[Asia Economy Reporter Bae Kyunghwan] On the 13th, President Yoon Seok-yeol requested the National Assembly to resend the confirmation report on the nomination of Han Dong-hoon as Minister of Justice.

On that day, a presidential office official stated, "In the afternoon, the request for a hearing on the nominee Han Dong-hoon for Minister of Justice was resent to the National Assembly." Previously, the confirmation hearing for nominee Han was held on the 9th, but the hearing report was not adopted.

In political circles, the Democratic Party of Korea designated nominee Han as a major target for rejection, but it is expected that President Yoon will proceed with the appointment. According to the Confirmation Hearing Act, if the National Assembly exceeds the deadline for adopting the report, the president may set a deadline within ten days to request resubmission. Furthermore, if the National Assembly does not submit the report by this deadline, the president may appoint the minister as is.
