The National Assembly's public administration and security committee adopted a plan during a plenary meeting on Wednesday to hold a confirmation hearing for Kim Jong-chul next Wednesday. Kim has been nominated for the position of commissioner general of the Korean National Police Agency (KNPA).

If appointed, Kim will fill a vacancy that has existed for nearly two years, dating back to former President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of martial law in late 2024.
