If appointed, he would have been the wealthiest member of the cabinet, with ₩5.6 billion in family assets, according to his self-report. However, during his confirmation hearings, Grand National Party (GNP) members including Hong Joon-pyo and Ahn Kyung-ryul expressed their opposition. Chang himself also acknowledged in a press conference that he had falsely registered himself as living in Seoul's Gangnam-gu to enroll his son in a better school. In the end he was rejected by a vote of 151-112.
