Confirmation hearing for PM nominee
Kim Boo-kyum, President Moon Jae-in's nominee for prime minister, takes an oath at the start of his confirmation hearing at the National Assembly in Seoul, Thursday. Kim, a former four-term lawmaker, expressed regret over allegations that vehicles belonging to him and his wife have been towed more than 30 times since 1996 due to unpaid fines, and his confession in a book published in 2015 that he bullied other children during his schooldays.
