The National Assembly's Gender Equality Family Committee will conduct a national audit on October 28, targeting the Ministry of Gender Equality and six affiliated organizations. Yoon Gu, CEO of Google Korea, is expected to be summoned as a general witness.
On October 14, the committee held a full meeting at the National Assembly and adopted the 2026 national audit plan.
According to the plan, the committee will audit seven organizations on October 28: the Ministry of Gender Equality, the Korea Gender Equality Education Institute, the Korea Women's Human Rights Institute, the Korea Youth Activity Promotion Agency, the Korea Youth Counseling and Welfare Development Institute, the Korea Healthy Family Promotion Agency, and the Child Support Payment Management Institute. Following this, on October 29, the committee will conduct site visits to the Korea Women's Human Rights Institute and the Central Digital Sexual Crime Victim Support Center.
This year, Yoon and Park Soo-kyung, CEO of Duo Information, have been selected as general witnesses for the audit. Questions regarding data breaches are anticipated during their testimonies. Kim Yeo-jin, head of the Korea Cyber Sexual Violence Response Center, is also expected to appear as a reference witness.
Meanwhile, it is customary for the National Assembly's Operations Committee, Intelligence Committee, and Gender Equality Committee to schedule their audits at different times to avoid overlap, as committee members often serve on multiple committees. Previously, the Operations Committee adopted its national audit plan for October 29-30, while the Intelligence Committee scheduled its audit for October 28-30.
