People Power Party lawmaker Kim Jae-seop proposed an amendment to the National Assembly Act that would require a proportional representative member of the National Assembly to resign from his or her position and be succeeded by a junior member if he or she is appointed as a member of the State Council. This is a measure following the controversy over the refusal of Rep. Yong Hye-in of the Basic Income Party, who was recently nominated as a ministerial candidate, to resign from her position as a member of the National Assembly.

In the August 30 Cabinet reshuffle confirmation hearing, the Democratic Party of Korea actively defended Kim Seung-won, the candidate for Minister of Justice, while taking a separate response by distancing itself from Yong Hye-in, the candidate for Minister of Gender Equality and Family. It is interpreted as a strategy that takes into account the public sentiment of the 2030 generation and the nature of controversy for each candidate.

As the possibility of sending troops to the Strait of Hormuz was discussed due to pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, opposing voices are coming from across the ruling party, including the Democratic Party of Korea and the Fatherland Innovation Party. While the party leadership is taking a cautious stance, concerns are raised about a repeat of the division within the party that occurred during the past deployment of troops to Iraq.

The People Power Party strongly urged the withdrawal of the nomination, raising suspicions that Minister of Justice candidate Kim Seung-won was involved in stock price manipulation and Minister of Gender Equality and Family Minister Yong Hye-in's misappropriation of subsidies and controversy over preferential treatment.

PPP lawmaker Kim Jae-sub proposed a bill requiring proportional representation MPs to resign their seats if appointed to the Cabinet. The move follows criticism of Basic Income Party Rep. Yong Hye-in, who intends to retain her seat while serving as minister.

The National Assembly confirmed the personnel hearing schedule for candidates for ministers of six ministries, including Kim Seung-won, candidate for Minister of Justice. In particular, a hearing for Special Inspector General Choi Gil-soo is scheduled to be held for the first time in 11 years and 6 months, and the schedule for Minister of Gender Equality and Family Yong Hye-in is being coordinated.
