On the 17th, President Yoon Seok-yeol said, “I will review” the appointment of Han Dong-hoon as Justice Minister.
President Yoon met with reporters on the way to work at the presidential office in Yongsan, Seoul around 9 am on the same day and said, “Since the (personnel hearing progress report) hasn’t arrived until yesterday, I will go to work and review it.”
To the question of ‘whether or not to appoint Jeong Ho-young as Minister of Health and Welfare,’ he answered, “There are several ministerial candidates who have not yet been appointed.”
President Yoon did not open his mouth to a question regarding Yoon Jae-soon, secretary for general affairs in the presidential office, who caused the controversy over ‘expression of poetry’.
