The National Assembly's Science, Technology, Information, Broadcasting and Communications Committee agreed to hold a confirmation hearing for Lee Tae-hyun, the candidate for KBS president, on Nov. 24.

The committee held a plenary session Friday and adopted a hearing plan with the agreement of the ruling and opposition parties. Neither side requested witnesses, so the hearing will proceed without any.

Lee joined KBS as a producer in 1994 and has since served as head of the broadcaster's content business division, chief executive of Wavve, and chief executive of the Hanam Culture Foundation.
