Korea Pro explains how committee members and leaders are chosen and why parties fight for control
A power struggle between South Korea’s ruling People Power Party (PPP) and the opposition Democratic Party (DP) over parliamentary committee leadership paralyzed the 22nd National Assembly for nearly a month.
The PPP started boycotting key committee sessions in late May, protesting the DP’s monopolization of two powerful organs: the judiciary and steering committees. The dispute also included the Science and Broadcasting Committee, which holds significant policy implications.
