The literary poetry that had been struggling with the autumn honorary discharge until the end, eventually replaced by the end of the year

A high-ranking government official said that President Moon Jae-in decided to replace Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae during a weekly luncheon with Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun on the 28th.

The official said to the JoongAng Ilbo that day, “we achieved consensus at the meeting to replace Minister Chu within this year.” He added, “The timing of the replacement of’within the year’ is the premise that it will proceed promptly in consideration of the party’s request, etc., and the verification of the head of the airlift and the request of the president were combined.”
According to passport officials, President Moon was initially planning to replace Minister Chu with other ministries during the second reshuffle, scheduled to take place after mid-January next year. It is said that President Moon’s idea was to give Minister Chu the opportunity of a’honorable discharge’.
However, the need for “an immediate replacement in consideration of public opinion” was also discussed in the Democratic Party, and as Prime Minister Chung made the same argument at a regular meeting, the “replacement within the year” was finally confirmed.
At the weekly meeting that day, Prime Minister Chung made a suggestion by putting weight on the quick change, but President Moon said that he was struggling with Minister Chu’s’honorary discharge’.
The timing of the replacement of the chief minister, which was initially influential on the 29th, is expected to be delayed by a day or two, taking into account the verification period for the two candidates for the head of the airlift that the National Assembly recommended.
Kim Jin-wook, a senior researcher at the Constitutional Court, and Lee Kun-ri, vice-chairman of the National Human Rights Commission of Korea, who were nominated as candidates for the Minister of Public Affairs, will select and present one of them. So, in the passport, there is a prospect that “the resignation of Minister Chu will be accepted and a successor will be announced around the 30th or 31st.”

Park Bum-gye and Democratic Party lawmaker Park Bum-gye are likely to be the successors of Minister Chu. He is also in line with President Moon’s personnel principles, who have been a judge and have kept the’exclusion of prosecutors’ in relation to the position of the Minister of Justice.
Rep. Park has already worked with President Moon as a civil affairs secretary and legal secretary of the Roh Moo-hyun administration.

However, some say, “It is difficult to say that Park’s stand is definitive.” The key person in the passport said, “Because Park also has to go through the verification process before standing, we are not sure yet.” It is too early to conclude until a final decision is made.”
In fact, it is said that Prime Minister Chung, who had a regular luncheon with President Moon on this day, did not make a clear comment on the selection of Congressman Park, who is mentioned as a leading candidate.
On the other hand, as this reorganization proceeds as a de facto separate reorganization focused on the replacement of Minister Chu, it is highly likely that the restructuring width will be reduced to the level of one point where one or two ministries are added besides the Ministry of Justice.
The variable is the move of the Minister of Small and Medium Venture Business Park Young-seon, who is rumored to be running for mayor of Seoul, but if Park’s willingness to run is not clearly confirmed, it may be omitted from the reopening target.
