The National Assembly in Seoul will begin its annual inspection of the government and state agencies, which will last for 26 days. On the first day of the audit, 10 of the Assembly's standing committees will conduct inspection hearings to examine the management of the central and regional governments and their agencies. The focus will be on issues such as allegations involving the first lady Kim Keon Hee, including stock manipulation and interference with candidate nominations. During the inspection, the rival parties, the ruling People Power Party and the main opposition Democratic Party, are expected to clash over various controversies, with the DP concentrating on questioning Kim's allegations, while the PPP is likely to respond with issues surrounding DP leader Lee Jae-myung, such as a property development corruption scandal. Additionally, topics like alleged irregularities in the remodeling of the presidential residence will also be closely scrutinized throughout the audit, scheduled to conclude on November 1.
