"Seems Different from Usual": Kim Min-seok Breaks Silence on Yong Hye-in Controversy Democratic Party leader Kim Min-seok stated today regarding the ongoing controversy surrounding Minister of Gender Equality and Family nominee Yong Hye-in—such as the debate over retaining her proportional representation seat—that he is "listening to many concerns and criticisms and deeply reflecting on them." Appearing on the party's official YouTube channel "Minjoo Party TV" on "Minti 07" today, Kim made the remarks, saying, "I am listening to various opinions and watching the situation unfold." Kim evaluated, "In general confirmation hearings, hidden corruption is uncovered and becomes an issue, but the issues raised this time are matters of judgment regarding facts that were evident even without a hearing," adding, "It seems different from usual." He further noted, "The various voices and judgments of the public on this matter deserve respect in themselves and are worth pondering." This can also be interpreted as an indication that, amid growing burdens on the ruling bloc as controversies and criticisms against the nominee amplify, he will monitor the situation before deciding whether to continue shielding nominee Yong.
