Hearing hearings for Minister of Health and Welfare Jeong Ho-young, who had to pour out more than 60 clarifications after the nomination of candidates.



Democratic lawmakers focused on investigating the fact that their two children transferred to Kyungpook National University Medical School, where he served as the hospital president, and that his son received a grade 4 military service diagnosis with a medical certificate issued by Kyungpook National University Hospital.



Candidate Jeong apologized for causing concern to the people, but continued to explain and refute her every case.



She also reaffirmed her position that she has no intention of resigning because she is morally proud.

I'm here because I think I'm proud.]



Candidate Deok-soo Han, the prime minister, confronted the so-called revolving door accusations with high-ranking officials and advisors Kim & Chang with a strong tone.



[Han Deok-soo/Prime Minister candidate: I will use what I have within the regulations set by the legislature, and it is difficult for me to understand that you have to stop it.]

This is how these interests are formed.]
