[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] The confirmation hearing for Lim Hyesook, the nominee for Minister of Science and ICT, will be held on the 4th of next month.
The National Assembly's Science, Technology, Information and Broadcasting Committee held a plenary meeting on the afternoon of the 29th and approved two agenda items, including the adoption of the plan to conduct the confirmation hearing for the nominee for State Council member.
As the nominee is facing allegations of illicit farmland transfer by her spouse and plagiarism in papers, the opposition party is expected to focus their questioning on these issues.
Nominee Lim must submit written responses to questions from ruling and opposition lawmakers to their offices by 10 a.m. on the 2nd.
