The way the Korean left is complaining about the Unification Minister makes me believe that he is actually doing quite a good job:

Opposition lawmakers yesterday jointly sponsored a resolution to recommend the dismissal of Unification Minister Hyun In-taek and submitted it to the National Assembly.

The Democratic, Democratic Labor, Creative Korea and New Progressive (New Jinbo) parties yesterday said in the resolution that Hyun should be replaced because of his poor performance in the job. Two Liberty Forward Party lawmakers and an independent lawmaker joined the 96 liberal lawmakers, achieving a quorum to propose the resolution.

“After he took office in February 2009, Hyun has failed to arrange a single ministerial meeting with North Korea, showing his incompetence in inter-Korean talks,” the resolution said. “He also did not authorize the National Assembly’s committee on inter-Korean relations to visit the Kaesong Industrial Complex, although it was agreed to by the ruling and opposition parties.”

The four opposition parties are to vote on the resolution tomorrow at the main session. The resolution requires a majority vote to pass, but the president has the power to reject it.  [Joong Ang Ilbo]
