В цифрах
September 16 hearing date
South Korea's defense minister nominee Kang Shin-chul stated that the transfer of wartime operational control (OPCON) to the US must be carried out in a way that strengthens the alliance between the two countries. Kang made this remark as he began preparations for his confirmation hearing at the Defense Convention in Seoul's Yongsan district.
Saying "OPCON transfer is possible while the South Korea-US alliance exists," Kang indicated the hearing is expected to take place on September 16. This stance shows that the operational control transfer is viewed as a process contingent on the existence of the alliance and not a unilateral move.
