– According to the existing Airborne Ministry Act, it was impossible to establish an airlift if an opposition party member refused to make a decision because six of the seven nominating committee members were approved. However, on the 15th, the revised Karate Deputy Act, which allows the candidate to be determined by the Minister of Airborne Affairs, is enforced if more than two-thirds of the quorum voted on the vote is in favor, and candidates can be selected even if two opposition members are omitted or opposed.
On this day, with the opposition party member missing, the remaining five members voted twice to select two candidates. In the first round of voting, which was exercised by two votes per person, senior researcher Kim received five votes among eight candidates and was first selected as the final candidate. Afterwards, in the second round of voting, which was exercised by one person at a time, Vice-Chairman Lee is said to have received condemnation from all five members.
Attorney Jeon Hyun-jung, who was initially predicted to be a promising deputy candidate, is said to have won one vote in the first vote and not even one in the second vote. It is observed that the fact that the former lawyer’s husband is an incumbent Supreme Judge may have a “conflict of interest,” and that he is the recommended person of Justice Minister Chu Miae, which may have influenced the members’ judgment.
