President Moon handed bouquets of different meanings to the new ministers’ families.
Minister Eui-yong’s spouse received a bouquet containing a non-moran cactus. The Blue House said, “The Bimoran Cactus has the meaning of’Korea in the world’. We will strengthen the ROK-US alliance and smoothly resolve relations with major countries such as China, Japan, Russia and the EU, while the peace process on the Korean Peninsula and the New Southern It is the meaning of the call to raise Korea’s status in the world to the next level by firmly establishing and developing the New Northern Policy.”
Minister Hwang Hee’s spouse received a bouquet of chamomile and sweet peas. It is a flower that means’power that does not yield to adversity’ and’happiness’, respectively. The Blue House said, “It has the meaning of contributing to overcoming the crisis in the culture, art, sports, and tourism industries caused by Corona 19, and to regain people’s daily lives through culture.”
A bouquet composed of dogwood and forsythia was delivered to Minister Kwon Chil-seung’s father. Each flower has the meaning of’I’ll protect you’ and’Hope’. The Blue House explained, “It is a call to quickly support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who are in business crisis due to Corona 19, and to create tangible results in support for exports and sales channels of SMEs and venture companies, and job creation.”
Of the three newly appointed ministers who received the letter of appointment on the same day, two except Kwon were the case where the ruling Democratic Party adopted the hearing report alone. It is also the 28th and 29th ministerial figure to be appointed despite opposition from the opposition party since the Moon Jae-in administration was inaugurated.
Among them, Hwang was hit hard by the opposition party at a personnel hearing due to controversy over family travel abroad, controversy over 600,000 won a month’s living expenses, and controversy over early study abroad. People’s Power is considering further legal action on the allegations surrounding Minister Hwang.

Since 2005, when the State Council member’s personnel hearing system was introduced, the President has enforced appointment despite opposition from the opposition party: three Roh Moo-hyun administrations, 17 Lee Myung-bak administrations, and 10 Park Geun-hye administrations. The Moon Jae-in administration still has more than one year in office, but it is more than the combined number of personnel appointed during the Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye administrations.
Until last year’s general election, President Moon went through the procedure of appointing after a period of retransmission after the National Assembly’s hearing report was unsuccessful. Then, after the ruling party secured a majority of the seats in the general election, the ruling party has been pushing for the appointment based on the hearing report adopted by the ruling party alone.
