According to Edaily, Lee Hyung-il, candidate for Deputy Prime Minister for Economy and Minister of Finance and Economy, said at a hearing held in the National Assembly on the night of the 15th, when Kim Sang-hoon, a People Power Party lawmaker, raised the need for a two-year postponement of virtual asset taxation, "Regarding virtual assets, we will consider it further, but the timeline has been postponed to be implemented in 2027 after discussions in the National Assembly in 2024. Starting (virtual asset taxation) now, the impact is not as significant as expected. It would be good to discuss it in the subcommittee as well."
