National Assembly Q&A Dyads — Primary Research Use Case

What is a Q-A dyad?

South Korea's LOSI system archives full-text transcripts of every committee hearing and national audit session since 2004. Each legislator–minister exchange can be parsed into a question-answer dyad — one row per spoken turn.

This minister panel provides the dual-office key to join onto any LOSI-derived dyad dataset, enabling analysis of whether co-partisan ties between legislators and ministers distort legislative oversight.
