Kim Sang-jo survived once… “It will change as soon as possible after the Lunar New Year holidays”

On the 31st, President Moon Jae-in appointed former Minister of Science and Technology Information and Communication Yoo Young-min as the head of the new presidential secretary, and Shin Hyun-soo as the former head of the National Intelligence Service’s Planning and Coordination Office, respectively. After two years of inauguration, Secretary Roh Young-min stepped down and the Moon Jae-in administration’s ‘3rd Blue House’ was launched. However, Kim Sang-jo’s appreciation was rejected.

Yoo Young-min, the new secretary chief, is a rare figure from a large corporation among key passport personnel. In 1979, he joined LG Electronics (at the time, Goldstar) as a regular employee and became an information officer (CIO, Chief Information Officer). Afterwards, he served as the president of Korea Software Promotion Agency and general president of information and communication technology of POSCO. He was appointed Minister of Science, Technology and Communication as the first Minister of Science, Technology and Communication in the Moon Jae-in government and worked for two years and two months. In the 21st general election, he ran for Haeundae Gap in Busan, but failed.

Director Young-min Roh announced the appointment of Mr. Yoo on this day and said, “With the virtue of the leadership of communication, the presidential secretary’s office is to promote the successful promotion of the Korean version of the New Deal for overcoming the corona and revitalizing the people’s livelihood, and leading the 4th industrial revolution. He introduced him as the best person to command. Mr. Yoo expressed his feelings, “We will improve the execution power with a sense of speed and with a sense of speed, so that we will become a productive and efficient Blue House secretary through integration and coordination in a short time.”

Mr. Roh, who retired from the post of secretary office, referred to’Bingdong Samcheok Biil Jihan’ as Lee Imsa. This means that three ice cubes are not made overnight. “It reads as meaning that it is impossible to melt (ice) with the warmth of a day,” said Mr. Noh. “The last 722 days were the most glorious times of my life,” he wrote on Facebook.

Shin Hyun-soo, the new chief civil servant, is the first former prosecutor of the current government. After passing the judicial examination (26 times), he served as a researcher at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office and head of the Information and Communication Department. Since 2004, Moo-Hyun Roh has worked as an appraisal secretary at the Blue House. When he worked as a secretary, President Moon was the chief civil society chief and the chief civil servant.

After leaving the Blue House, he worked as a lawyer at Kim & Chang Law Firm for 12 years from 2005. In 2017, he served as the head of the legal aid team at the presidential election camp of President Moon, and in the current government, he was the head of the planning and coordination department of the National Intelligence Service. Whenever the Cheong Wa Dae and the Cabinet reorganization, the position he was eventually assigned to as a candidate for Min Jeong, the Minister of Justice, and the head of the National Intelligence Service was at the end of his term of office to manage various risks.
Chief Roh introduced Chief Shin as “a person who has a sense of balance, a gentle personality, a reform mindset and momentum based on his rich legal career, to complete the reform of power institutions and convey the public’s public sentiment to the President without addition or subtraction.”

On the other hand, Kim Jong-ho, who leaves the Blue House after 4 months of inauguration, said, “I first apologize for causing concern to the people in severe periods such as the outbreak of coronavirus. I think it is the duty to take responsibility as the chief in charge of the relevant field.”
Chief Kim was criticized for failing to rectify the conflict as Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae and Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol as chief executive officer. Inside the Blue House, there were complaints that the burden on President Moon was increased due to the misjudgment of senior Kim before the decision of the Seoul Administrative Court.

President Moon repaired it a day after Chief Roh and Chief Kim expressed their appreciation and announced a new Chief Secretary and Chief Min Jeong. In a situation where the approval rating declines due to the conflict between Minister Chu and President Yoon, it is interpreted as the will to prepare the driving force for government administration by accelerating human renewal. Their terms of office start on the 1st. A member of the Democratic Party of Korea, a former Blue House staff member, interpreted, “The appointment of Mr. Yoo means that the political issues will be shifted to the Party now, and the Blue House will put weight on policy, economy, and public welfare.”

President Moon said, but Kim Sang-jo, who expressed his gratitude the day before along with Chief Roh and Chief Kim, rejected his gratitude. In this regard, President Moon said that in the morning of the day, “there are many pending issues such as the third disaster support payment and corona prevention, so it is not time to change the head of the policy office.” Chief Roh also submitted a resignation with the chiefs in August when the Blue House staff’s multi-household was controversial. However, Chief Roh’s resignation was rejected, and it was finally repaired in four months. So, it is observed from the Blue House that “Director Kim’s appreciation will be repaired as soon as possible after the Lunar New Year holiday, when the third disaster support fund is paid.”

Economic chief Lee Ho-seung and others were mentioned as the next policy director, but as the time to change the policy director is delayed, it is expected to affect the selection of successors. Early next month, it was expected that there would be a reshuffle to replace Deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-ki and Minister of Strategy and Finance.
