  "summary": "The Korea Times reports that a parliamentary committee in South Korea adopted a confirmation hearing report for Justice Minister nominee Kim Seung-won on Thursday, despite objections from the main opposition People Power Party (PPP). The PPP lawmakers walked out of a plenary meeting of the parliamentary legislation and judiciary committee, protesting the ruling Democratic Party of Korea's (DPK) decision to adopt the report without fully addressing allegations surrounding Kim. None of the allegations raised during the hearing have been resolved, according to PPP Rep. Park Hyeung-soo, who walked out of the session before the committee could make a final decision. Kim, a two-term lawmaker, previously served as a judge at two district courts and in the presidential office under the Moon Jae-in administration.",
