▲ Yong Hye-in, Nominee for Minister of Gender Equality and Family
Yong Hye-in, nominee for Minister of Gender Equality and Family, will hold a press conference this morning (13th).
The Basic Income Party announced through a media notice that Nominee Yong is scheduled to hold a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Hall at 11:30 AM today.
Nominee Yong, who was nominated as Minister of Gender Equality and Family on August 30, has faced pressure to step down from her nomination not only by the opposition party but also by some members of the ruling party amid controversies surrounding her dual role as a proportional representation lawmaker.
In a press conference on the 10th, Nominee Yong stated, "The concurrent holding of a cabinet position by a member of the National Assembly is a principle permitted by law," expressing her intent to tackle the dual-role issue head-on.
However, as pressure to resign has intensified since then, attention is focused on whether she will announce her stance on her future during today's press conference.
