This morning, President Park Ji-won, the candidate for the National Intelligence Service, was held as scheduled with the participation of the United Party.

The united party, who had asked for a postponement because no witnesses were present and the candidate's submission of data was inadequate, attended the hearing and verified it.

Through the remarks at all hearings, Park said that private companies would bury in the courtyard of Nagok-dong, Seoul, where the National Intelligence Service is located, and only see the path that Korea should go.

He said that he would not let the National Intelligence Service intervene in domestic politics and elections.

From the start, the opposition lawmakers and candidate Park's battle over the suspicion of candidate Park's education began.

Rep. Ha Tae-kyung of the UNDP, who faked his education at Chosun University when he joined Dankook University, repeatedly raised suspicions of counterfeiting the university, saying he was afraid of Dankook University to correct it, and submitted it to the candidate, saying that Park had no defects. He rejected the request and expressed displeasure with the allegations.

Candidate Park also said that North Korean defectors in their 20s recently admitted to North Korea again and admit that the government has failed to do so.
