Minister nominee Yong Hye-in for the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family will not go to the personnel hearing preparation team office on the 10th. This is the first time since the preparation team office was set up.
The preparation team for the Minister nominee for the gender equality ministry notified on this day that "the nominee is not scheduled to go to the office set up at the Korea Youth Work Agency (KYWA) in Seodaemun District."
Yong is said to have decided to review materials related to the personnel hearing at home. It is said there is no particular reason the nominee is not going to the office.
President Lee Jae-myung nominated Yong on the 30th of last month as the Minister nominee for the gender equality ministry. Yong has been going to the preparation team office set up at the Korea Youth Work Agency (KYWA) since the 2nd of this month to prepare for the personnel hearing.
Controversies such as "concurrent service as a lawmaker," "allegations of turning the Basic Income Party into a personal fief," and "allegations of an under-the-table organization" have erupted one after another, and Yong has faced questions about the related allegations on the way to work. Yong did not answer most questions and has only said, "I will explain at the personnel hearing."
