Yong Hye-in, the nominee for Minister of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, will not report to the confirmation hearing preparation office on September 10, instead continuing her preparations from home.
The confirmation hearing preparation team announced that "the nominee is not expected to come to the office located at the Korea Youth Activity Promotion Agency in Seodaemun-gu."
According to the team, Yong will review the materials related to the confirmation hearing requested by the National Assembly from her residence.
They clarified that there is no specific reason for her absence from the office.
Since expressing her feelings about her nomination on her first day at work on September 2, Yong has not provided detailed explanations regarding the controversies surrounding her, including the issue of holding multiple positions.
On the previous day, she faced questions from reporters about the dual position issue, allegations of overlooking gender discrimination guidelines from an unofficial organization, suspicions regarding her family party, and claims of false registration of local party offices. However, she maintained that she would address these matters in detail during the confirmation hearing.
