The National Assembly kicked off confirmation hearings for seven minister candidates today... and Choi Jeong-ho, President Moon Jae-in's pick for transport minister is first in the hot seat.
Lawmakers are likely to focus on Choi's morality,.... particularly as he's accused of some shady real estate deals.
There will be confirmation hearings for other nominees this week... including those picked to head up the unification, interior, and science ministries.
The spotlight is especially on unification minister nominee Kim Yeon-chul's hearing on Tuesday,... because if he's appointed... he will be Seoul's new negotiator with North Korea.
The Presidential Office and the ruling party expect all the nominees to be confirmed.
