"Candidate Not Coming to Office Today"... Yong Hye-in Prepares for Hearings at Home

Yong Hye-in, nominee for Minister of Gender Equality and Family, who has avoided giving specific answers to various suspicions by stating that she will "explain in detail at the confirmation hearing," is not reporting to her preparation office today (the 10th).

The preparation team for the confirmation hearing of the Minister of Gender Equality and Family nominee notified the press corps this morning that "the candidate does not plan to report to the office today."

Instead of visiting the confirmation hearing preparation office set up at the Korea Youth Work Agency in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, Nominee Yong plans to prepare for the confirmation hearing from her home by reviewing materials requested by the National Assembly.

An official from the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family stated, "The candidate expressed her intention to the preparation team late last night that she would concentrate on reviewing materials from home to prepare for the confirmation hearing."

Ministry officials who usually waited for Nominee Yong's arrival were not seen today, and the access control line set up in front of the elevator used by Nominee Yong has been removed.

Since sharing her thoughts on her nomination on her first commute on the 2nd, Nominee Yong has not offered any particular explanations regarding various suspicions surrounding her, including controversies over holding concurrent positions.

During her commute yesterday, when reporters asked questions about the dual-office controversy, allegations of condoning discriminatory guidelines by a back-channel organization, suspicions surrounding a family-run political party, and false registrations of municipal and provincial party offices, she only responded, "I will explain in detail at the confirmation hearing."
