The National Assembly was set to begin four days of interpellation sessions Wednesday, with the ruling and opposition parties expected to clash over President Lee Jae Myung's recent Cabinet reshuffle and other contentious issues. During Wednesday's session, the main opposition People Power Party (PPP) is expected to step up its criticism of Lee's pick of Justice Minister nominee Kim Seung-won and Gender Equality Minister nominee Yong Hye-in. Kim, a two-term lawmaker, is accused of illegally lobbying for a COVID-19 treatment in 2021. He has also faced criticism from the PPP over his involvement in a group of ruling party lawmakers calling for dropping Lee's criminal indictments. Yong faces criticism over her decision to keep her National Assembly seat even after being appointed to the Cabinet position. The ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) is expected to highlight the Lee administration's achievement in carrying out the liberal bloc's long-sought prosecution reforms, including stripping the prosecution of its power to conduct direct investigations. The prosecution office will be shut
