Kim Hyun, Broadcasting and Communications Commission Member, Says "Legislative Office Should Provide Interpretation on Minhee Choi Nominee's Disqualification"
Kim Hyun, a standing commissioner of the Korea Communications Commission, issued a statement on the 4th regarding Choi Min-hee, the standing commissioner nominee recommended by the Democratic Party of Korea, saying, "The Ministry of Government Legislation should promptly interpret the law and provide an answer."
Commissioner Kim Hyun pointed out, "On April 5th, we appointed lawyer Lee Sang-in as the presidential nominee to succeed former standing commissioner Kim Chang-ryong, who completed his term and retired," adding, "Despite 35 days having passed since Choi Min-hee was elected as the standing commissioner nominee recommended by the negotiation group on March 30th, the president has not appointed her."
On the 11th of last month, the office of Yoon Doo-hyun, a member of the People Power Party belonging to the National Assembly's Science, Technology, Information and Broadcasting and Communications Committee, requested the submission of materials regarding whether Choi Min-hee's position as full-time vice president of the Korea Information Industry Association constitutes a disqualification for the Communications Commission. Accordingly, on the 13th, the Secretariat of the Korea Communications Commission requested the Ministry of Government Legislation to interpret the law concerning whether Choi Min-hee, the standing commissioner nominee, has any disqualifications.

He continued, "The Ministry of Government Legislation should not delay any longer and must respond to the legal interpretation."
