The Democratic Party launched an all-out offensive against the candidate for Minister of Health and Welfare Jeong Ho-young, who had a personnel hearing yesterday (3rd), saying that he should be investigated rather than resigned.

Democratic Party lawmakers who pushed Candidate Ho-Young Jeong, criticizing the poor submission of materials yesterday, exploded at Candidate Chung's remarks.
[Jung Ho-young / Candidate for Minister of Health and Welfare: I apologize if a member of the council is uncomfortable.
(Are you kidding me now?)]
In particular, the attitude of answering the questions of female lawmakers was insincere, and the Democratic lawmakers left the hearing room afterwards.
Today, the Democratic Party raised the level of offensive to the maximum, saying that candidate Chung is the king of privileged opportunities and that he should be investigated for suspicion of child transfer beyond voluntary resignation.

The power of the people counterattacked that the Democratic Party was not confident in the verification and ran away from the hearing. I did.
[Kwon Seong-dong / People's Power Floor Leader: If you are confident in the verification, go to the personnel hearing even if you stay up all night.
A group exit is only seen as a group escape.]
However, within the party, demands for the voluntary resignation of candidate Chung were again openly erupted.
[Jeong Mi-kyung/People's Power Supreme Commissioner (BBS Radio): We must not step on the shadow of our country.
That is the way of the people's power over the people who changed the government.] A
key official of the elected Yoon Seok-yeol said that although many of the suspicions were resolved through the personnel hearings, he would watch the flow of public opinion.
If Candidate Jeong resigns following the resignation of Minister of Education Kim In-cheol, the defense line may be opened against the Democratic Party's offensive demanding the resignation of Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon. .
