Font size

On the 8th, the Blue House said that some reports that the leadership of the Democratic Party of Korea had conveyed "unqualified opinions" to the Blue House regarding Yong Hye-in, candidate for Minister of Gender Equality and Family, were "completely untrue."

A Blue House official said on this day, “The Blue House has not received a request for withdrawal of nomination (for Candidate Yong) or resignation from the (Democratic) Party leadership.”

Earlier, a media outlet reported on this day that Kim Min-seok, leader of the Democratic Party, conveyed negative public opinion about Candidate Yong's appointment while welcoming President Lee Jae-myung, who was on a state visit to France, on the 6th.

In response to this, Representative Kim also said on the party's official YouTube channel, 'Democratic Party TV', that it was "misinformation" and "excessive fantasy."

On this day, Representative Kim said, “I know that there are various opinions inside and outside the party,” and added, “I can put them all together and tell you (to the Blue House), but in any case, it is not true to say that I conveyed that at the airport.”

Open Questions

  • What are the actual opinions within the Democratic Party?
  • Is the Blue House considering withdrawing the nomination?
  • How will this controversy affect future personnel procedures?
