The report on the personnel hearing for the Minister of the Interior and Safety candidate Yun Ho-jung was adopted through an agreement between the ruling and opposition parties.
According to the political sphere on the 18th, the National Assembly Public Administration and Security Committee held a plenary meeting in the National Assembly that afternoon and adopted the hearing report on candidate Yun.
It has been 14 days since the government requested a personnel hearing from the National Assembly, and it has been reported that both the ruling and opposition parties agreed to minimize the gap in disaster and safety command.
The People Power Party pointed out the candidate's drunk driving and issues with the absence of witnesses or informants, but refrained from overattacking the candidate, who is a multi-term lawmaker.
Candidate Yun plans to start work after going through the appointment approval process by President Lee Jae-myung.
Candidate Yun said, "I will do my best to transform into a Ministry of Happiness and Safety that takes responsibility for happiness beyond the safety of the people with a determination to thoroughly revamp."
