The annual parliamentary audit in South Korea commenced on Tuesday, marked by immediate political friction between rival parties. Lawmakers are focusing their scrutiny on the administration's current strategies regarding North Korea and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Additionally, the proceedings are complicated by a growing dispute between the presidential office and the judicial branch concerning the selection of a new Supreme Court justice. This inspection process involves eight of the National Assembly's 17 standing committees and is slated to continue for three weeks, concluding on October 27. This event represents the second such audit conducted under the current presidential administration, highlighting ongoing tensions within the legislative body as they evaluate government agency performance.
