As President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol is speeding up the appointment of transition members of the Presidential Transition Committee, there are also criticisms of the members of the Science and Technology Education and Social Welfare and Culture Subcommittees.
It was reported on the 15th that Kosan, who had been the first Korean to be nominated as two finalists for astronauts, was appointed as a transition member of the Presidential Takeover Committee. Ko is currently running a venture company.
It is said that Baek Kyung-ran, chairman of the Korean Society of Infectious Diseases, was selected as a transition member of the Social Welfare and Culture Division, who is a corona expert. It is expected to contribute to the preparation of the scientific and rational quarantine policy that President-elect Yoon promised.
It is known that the two people were recommended by Ahn Cheol-soo, chairman of the transition committee, to Yoon-elect, and Yoon-elect accepted it.
Nam Ki-tae, a professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Seoul National University, is also known to have been appointed as a transition member of the Science and Technology Education Division. Professor Nam, who is in his 40s, holds several world-first research records in the field of new materials.
