The special inspection candidate, Choi Gil-soo's personnel hearing saw a clash between the ruling and opposition parties over the scope of the special inspection. The Democratic Party demanded an inspection of the previous Yoon Suk-yeol administration, while the People Power Party urged an inspection into Kim Hyun-ji, senior secretary for civil affairs at the presidential office, and the self-restraint of President Lee Jae-myung's son. The People Power Party mentioned suspicions of personnel intervention by Secretary Kim to confirm its intention for inspection, while the Democratic Party argued that even if Secretary Kim was not a target of inspection, those who accept requests for personnel appointments, such as the presidential chief secretary, should naturally be subject to inspection.
