South Korea's Blue House Pledges Swift Appointment of Special Inspector Upon Assembly Approval

The Blue House has stated its intention to promptly appoint a special inspector once the National Assembly officially recommends a candidate. This commitment comes after the Democratic Party put forward Choi Gil-soo, a lawyer and former prosecutor, as their nominee for the position.

President Lee Jae-myung has repeatedly stressed the importance of establishing a special inspector's office since taking office. The Blue House's announcement signals a move towards fulfilling this commitment, contingent on the legislative body's approval process.

According to a press release from Blue House spokesperson Seong Gi-hong, the presidential office will proceed with the appointment in accordance with established procedures upon receiving the National Assembly's resolution. This indicates a procedural readiness to implement the role once legislative hurdles are cleared.

If the National Assembly approves the candidate for special inspector through a plenary session, the Blue House will proceed with the appointment swiftly according to the procedures.
