[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] On the 17th, the People Power Party stated regarding President Yoon Seok-yeol's appointment of Han Dong-hoon as Minister of Justice, "It is a strong expression of the will that the government’s administration should no longer be hindered."

Park Hyung-soo, the party’s floor spokesperson, said in a commentary on the same day, "On the one hand, it is also due to the urgent need for the new government to be launched normally as soon as possible and to respond to the crisis as one team amid the tense domestic and international situation."

Park added, "Minister Han was appointed 34 days after being nominated as the first Minister of Justice of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration," and "Minister Han has undergone intense scrutiny along with strong opposition from the Democratic Party of Korea since his nomination, effectively going through a hearing process for about 30 days." He continued, "Now, the cornerstone of bipartisan cooperation is the approval of Prime Minister nominee Han Duck-soo," and "I hope that with the launch of the new government, we can show the people hope for new politics."

Finally, he emphasized, "The Democratic Party should no longer hesitate and must cooperate in approving the nominee," and "The people will not tolerate any obstruction to the launch of the new government, which has an urgent path ahead."
