The Blue House said on the 11th that it had not separately coordinated in advance regarding the press conference of Ministerial nominee Yong Hyein for the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.
At a briefing in the Chunchu Hall, Senior Blue House Spokesperson Kang Yujung explained that the press conference held by nominee Yong the previous day was unrelated to the president’s overseas trip schedule, and that there had been no separate coordination with the Blue House. She emphasized that ministerial nominees should have the opportunity to explain directly to the public, while also saying that the government is listening to diverse public opinions.
Nominee Yong had previously held a press conference at the National Assembly Communications Center the day before, rebutting various allegations and stating her intention to see the nomination through to the end. The Blue House says it had not been informed of the press conference in advance. Meanwhile, Senior Spokesperson Kang added that, regarding Chief Justice Cho Heedae’s procedure for renomination of Supreme Court justices, followup procedures should be carried out swiftly so that the public’s right to trial is not hindered.
