The personnel hearings of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration's first cabinet will begin this week.
The level of clashes between the ruling and opposition parties is expected to increase further as it is held ahead of the June 1 local elections, which is an extended presidential campaign.
In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea (Democratic Party) placed candidate for Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon, who is close to the prosecutor-elect Yoon-elect, and Minister of Health and Welfare Jeong Ho-young, who was caught up in suspicions of 'father chance', on the 'top priority dropout list'.
The People's Power is poised to take a thorough defense, saying that the formation of a capability-based cabinet should not be delayed.
However, there are also observations that it will be inevitable that some candidates with concentrated suspicions will fall out in order to receive the approval of Prime Minister Han Deok-soo by the National Assembly against the Democrats who have more than 170 seats.
There were only nine personnel hearings agreed upon by the opposition and opposition parties, including candidate Han Deok-soo.
Hearings for the remaining 10 ministerial candidates have not yet been scheduled.
The first candidate will stand at the verification stand for two days from the 25th to the 26th.
Hearings will follow, with Lee Sang-min, Minister of the Interior and Safety, Lee Jong-seop, nominee for defense minister (28th), and Park Bo-gyun (29th), minister of culture, sports and tourism candidate Park Bo-gyun.
On the 2nd of next month, three hearings will be held at once: Choo Kyung-ho, nominee for economy and finance minister, Won Hee-ryong, nominee for Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and Park Jin, nominee for Foreign Minister.
Candidate Ho-young Jung for Minister of Health and Welfare will hold a hearing on the 3rd of next month, and Candidate Young-se of Unification for Minister of Unification Kwon Young-se on the 4th of next month.
