The Korea Times reports that a parliamentary committee is set to adopt a confirmation hearing report for a special inspector nominee, Choi Kil-su, this week, ending a 10-year vacancy. Choi, a former senior prosecutor, was nominated by President Lee Jae Myung from among three candidates recommended by rival parties and the bar association.
