SEOUL, Sept. 16 (Yonhap) -- A parliamentary committee on Wednesday adopted a confirmation hearing report for Supreme Court Justice nominee Kim Sung-soo, paving the way for his appointment to the top court.

The approval came after the special parliamentary committee held a confirmation hearing for Kim on Monday.

In the report, the ruling Democratic Party made a positive assessment of Kim, saying his "sincere and thoughtful responses" demonstrated his commitment to political neutrality and judicial independence.

The main opposition People Power Party, however, said he was unfit for the post, raising questions over his qualifications and political neutrality as a Supreme Court justice.

Kim's appointment will be finalized after a vote in a parliamentary plenary session expected to take place Thursday, followed by his formal appointment by President Lee Jae Myung.

If approved, Kim will become the first Supreme Court justice to take office under the Lee administration.

首尔，9月16日（韩联社）——周三，国会委员会通过了最高法院大法官提名人金成洙的确认听证报告，为其被任命为最高法院大法官铺平了道路。

此前，国会特别委员会于周一举行了对金正恩的任命确认听证会。

报告中，执政的民主党对金正恩给予了积极评价，称他的“真诚而深思熟虑的回应”表明了他致力于政治中立和司法独立。

然而，主要反对党人民力量党表示，他不适合担任这一职务，并质疑他作为最高法院法官的资格和政治中立性。

金正日的任命将在预计于周四举行的国会全体会议上进行投票表决后最终确定，随后由李在明总统正式任命。

如果获得批准，金大贤将成为李光耀政府时期就任的首位最高法院大法官。
