Ask what Korea is talking about.

A parliamentary committee adopted a confirmation hearing report on Thursday for Choi Gil-su, the nominee for special inspector general tasked with investigating corruption involving the president's family and senior aides. The move clears the way for the appointment of the first presidential watchdog in over a decade, following a roughly 10-year vacancy. Yonhap reports the committee's adoption came Oct. 22, with the Korea Times noting it was expected this week. Korean reaction is not detailed in available coverage, but the appointment is framed as ending a long gap in presidential oversight.
