● "Cabinet Politics... Bring Out the Witnesses"

Seo Yong-ju / Former Senior Deputy Spokesperson for the Democratic Party of Korea
"Han Dong-hoon refused the hearing witness request out of concern for legal liability."
"Han Dong-hoon used provocative expressions unrelated to the core essence, which is inappropriate."
"Han Dong-hoon led the exposures to raise his own political value."

Jang Sung-chul / Director of the Gongron Center
"The People Power Party is wary of the expansion of Han Dong-hoon's political stature, likely ending in solo play."
"Kim Seung-won is trying to break the state system, lacking qualifications as a minister."
"The controversy surrounding Kim Seung-won differs from the typical petition-processing procedures of a lawmaker's office."

Sohn Seok-min / SBS Editorial Writer
"Regarding the appointment of Han Dong-hoon as a hearing committee member, neither the ruling nor opposition parties are likely to reach out."
