The National Assembly is holding a confirmation hearing for Han Sung-sook, the second Prime Minister nominee under the Lee Jae-myung administration, starting today, June 25, through tomorrow.

The People Power Party has signaled an offensive to block her appointment, raising issues such as the alleged illicit real estate transfers among the nominee's family members and the personal data leak involving "Modu Startup."

On the other hand, the Democratic Party is expected to defend the nominee, dismissing the allegations as groundless attempts to damage her reputation.
