[Asia Economy reporters Hyunju Lee and Boryeong Geum] On the 5th, the People Power Party announced that it will conduct a level of verification equivalent to a confirmation hearing at the standing committee level for Park Soon-ae, the Deputy Prime Minister for Social Affairs and Minister of Education, and Kim Seung-gyeom, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who were appointed without confirmation hearings.

Kwon Seong-dong, the floor leader of the People Power Party, said to reporters after the party's floor strategy meeting, "Due to the National Assembly's fault and failure to fulfill its duties, the confirmation hearings were not held," adding, "Once the standing committee is formed, we will conduct personnel verification work equivalent to a confirmation hearing."

Kwon also stated, "There will be issues the public is curious about regarding ministers appointed without confirmation hearings. We believe it is our duty to apologize where necessary and explain their expertise and vision to the public," adding, "Although it is not an official confirmation hearing, we intend to create a session comparable to one."
