“Isn’t this really the FSS training center?”
Afterwards, we had a chat with Ahn Cheol-soo, Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman Kwon Young-se, and Planning Chairman Won Hee-ryong.
At this meeting, President-elect Yoon announced that he would exclude the affairs and information functions from the affairs of the presidential office and abolish the office of the chief of civil affairs.
While reaffirming the existing promises, he emphasized the necessity of ‘liquidation’ by saying, ‘In the past, the chief civil affairs office disguised public opinion verification and carried out background investigations.’
The presidential office said it would focus on security and people’s livelihood.

“We will quickly take over government affairs so that there will be no gaps in national security and the people’s livelihood.”
In response, the president-elect emphasized that it is a political reform agenda to be emphasized the most, saying it is one part of Yoon-elect’s initiative to liquidate the evils of the imperial presidential system.
In the followingnoon, we went on our first field trip to visit Namdaemun Market.
President-elect Yoon emphasized that it is the state’s duty to give fair compensation to small businesses caused by the state’s quarantine measures.
He also said that he would become an ambassador for a traditional market.

“If these people, as middle-class people, can firmly support the economy and society of this country, the country will not be able to resist.”
Yoon also appointed former Democratic Party leader Kim Han-gil as the chairman of the National Unity Committee and Kim Byung-jun, the former vice chairman of the special regional balance committee, to speed up the appointment of the transition committee.
President-elect Yoon said that he would complete the composition of the transition committee within this week as much as possible, and that once the transition committee is fully operational from the weekend, he will work closely with state affairs on a daily basis.
