President Lee to Receive Hearing Report Tomorrow... The Fate of Kang Sun-woo and Lee Jin-sook?

[Financial News] As the confirmation hearing for the first cabinet of the Lee Jae-myung administration enters its final phase, the fate of Minister of Gender Equality and Family candidate Kang Sun-woo and Minister of Education candidate Lee Jin-sook is expected to be decided tomorrow.
Kang Yoo-jung, spokesperson for the Presidential Office, announced through a press notice on the 19th that "internal reports and related follow-up discussions regarding the confirmation hearing are scheduled for tomorrow."
In this confirmation hearing, candidate Kang Sun-woo was embroiled in various controversies such as 'abuse of power allegations,' and candidate Lee Jin-sook faced 'thesis plagiarism allegations,' but major standing committees evaluated that they could not find any disqualifications for the two candidates.
As a result, the ruling and opposition parties are unable to narrow their differences over whether to adopt the hearing report, and are running parallel. Ultimately, the appointment of candidates Kang Sun-woo and Lee Jin-sook and the direction of cabinet formation are interpreted to depend on President Lee Jae-myung's decision over the weekend.
