Shin Hyun-soo, chief executive officer of the Blue House, left a vacation home on the 18th. He is expected to return around the 22nd after the weekend. The appreciation has not been withdrawn yet. At Cheongwa-daero, he earned less than three days. The likelihood of Shin’s insistence on appreciation declined, but it is too early to be optimistic that he will return to work as if nothing had happened. One thing is certain: President Moon Jae-in’s focus on people’s livelihoods at the beginning of the year has become inevitable. A senior Blue House official told reporters on the day that Chief Shin was submitting a leave for vacation, and said, “What would you say (when you return from vacation)? I hope that you will fully consider and return to the original form.” The Blue House is in the mood for Shin, who is looking forward to returning to work after making up his mind during the vacation. The Blue House revealed that Shin did its best to reconcile the disagreement between the prosecution and the Ministry of Justice over high-ranking personnel. ‘Face’, and after the expression of the company, he tried to change the mind of Chief Shin by operating various channels as well as the President. Even if Chief Shin returns as the Blue House wishes, it will take a considerable amount of time for President Moon to heal the internal injuries he suffered from this incident. As is known, Shin worked at the Blue House during the Roh Moo-hyun administration, and after establishing a friendship with President Moon, he helped Moon elected as a legal aid during the 2012 and 2017 presidential elections. After the inauguration of the Moon Jae-in administration, he served as the chief of the National Intelligence Service to lead the reform of the NIS, and after the period of rest, at the request of President Moon, he was selected as the first chief civilian prosecutor. In less than two months after being disappointed with President Moon’s greetings, he expressed his appreciation, so the way President Moon’s greetings was once again on the cutting board. A ruling party lawmaker with experience working at the Blue House said, “We have to hold a good level of public office discipline at the end of the regime, but it is a pity that the Blue House is revealing its own difficulties.” President Moon’s leadership and trust also suffered considerable damage. A high-ranking Blue House official said, “Please do not associate the president with the president” when asked if this greeting should be viewed as’president’s intention’. The Blue House only explained the uncoordinated personnel plan between Chief Shin and Attorney General Park Bum-gye in the way that the President did not know it and accepted it. “It is unclear whether President Moon raised the hand of Minister Park Bum-gye or reapproved an uncoordinated proposal,” said Yoon Tae-gon, head of the Political Analysis Office of The Moa Agenda and Strategy Group. In the end, he diagnosed that the question of’what is the president’s will?’ that came out during the disciplinary process of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol at the end of last year must be repeated again.” For this reason, it is difficult to rule out the possibility that the current wave of affairs would act as a burden on President Moon’s state administration at the end of his presidency. At the end of last year, President Moon suffered a triple-heavy tragedy of’Chumi-ae-Yun Seok-yeol’,’delayed introduction of corona vaccine’, and’increased real estate prices’. I have put my energy into recovery. However, following the high-ranking prosecutors who re-trusted the’Chumiae Line’, they went through the wave of Chief Min Jeong-suk, turning to’breakthrough’ rather than’embracing’. Park Seong-min, CEO of Min Consulting, said, “The best card that President Moon could have pulled out was Shin Hyun-soo. For the time being, President Moon will have no choice but to maintain a strong stance.” By Lee Wan, staff reporter, Seo Young-ji, [email protected]
