[Breaking News] Yong Hye-in, Nominee for Minister of Gender Equality and Family, "Voluntarily Resigns from Ministerial Candidacy"

[Financial News] Yong Hye-in, nominee for Minister of Gender Equality and Family, voluntarily resigned from her candidacy on the 13th. This comes just 14 days after she was nominated.
Candidate Yong held a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Center on this day and announced her intention to resign from her candidacy.
Since being nominated as a ministerial candidate, Candidate Yong has faced pressure to resign not only from the opposition but also from some within the ruling party due to controversies such as her concurrent position as a proportional representative lawmaker.
At a press conference on the 10th, she showed a determination to confront the controversy head-on, but she voluntarily resigned on this day.
However, it appears she decided to resign voluntarily as pressure to step down intensified, coupled with the phenomenon of declining support for the ruling party among the 2030 generation in various public opinion polls.
