The ruling and opposition parties have decided to hold a hearing on the nominee for Minister of Health and Welfare Jeong Ho-young on the 3rd of next month.
On the 21st, Rep. Kim Seong-joo, secretary of the Democratic Party of the National Assembly Health and Welfare Committee, and Kang Ki-yoon, secretary of People’s Power, reached a tentative agreement like this on the 21st.
The special committee will hold a plenary meeting on the 26th to adopt an implementation plan for personnel hearings.
Political circles, including the Democratic Party, continue to raise suspicions regarding the preferential treatment for Chung’s child’s transfer to Kyungpook National University’s medical school and his son’s military service.
On the same day, following releasing the results of his son’s re-examination, he denied it, saying, “If the public’s standards are moral and ethical, there is no shame in it.”
