[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Young-won] On the 8th, President Yoon Seok-yeol requested the National Assembly to resend the confirmation report on the nomination of Kim Chang-gi as Commissioner of the National Tax Service.


A presidential office official said to reporters at the Yongsan office on the same day, "We requested the resubmission today," adding, "The deadline for resubmission is three days, so it is until this Friday (the 10th)."


Accordingly, it is expected that Kim will be appointed as early as this weekend. The official said, "Physically, the appointment can be made from Saturday (the 11th), but whether the appointment will be made immediately that morning depends on the situation."



On the 16th of last month, President Yoon sent the nomination request for Kim to the National Assembly. However, the confirmation hearing could not be held due to delays in the organization of the second half of the 21st National Assembly. The legal deadline for Kim's confirmation hearing was the 7th of this month, and the deadline has now passed.
