On the same day, the Environment and Labor Committee held a plenary meeting and approved the reports on the two hearing plans. The Coupang hearing will be held at 10 a.m. on the 21st of this month. Five people, including Kang Han-seung, CEO of Coupang, were selected as witnesses. Among the reference persons, Kang Min-wook, executive director of the Delivery Workers' Overwork Death Countermeasures Committee, was selected.

The Daewoo Winia hearing will also be held on the same day. Park Young-woo, chairman of Daewoo Winia, and others were selected as witnesses.

Earlier, Kim Hyung-dong, the senior member of the People Power Party in the Environment and Labor Committee, said, "I will follow the hearing schedule once it is set," but suggested, "Since there is a lot of work ahead of the Lunar New Year, let's consider postponing the Coupang hearing," which was not accepted.
