Passport core “On the occasion of 100 days of inauguration
Measures to reorganize the power of government”
尹 to hold an official press conference
President Yoon Seok-yeol is expected to carry out a personal renewal of the presidential office next week, the 100th anniversary of his inauguration. As part of this, we are strongly considering a plan to put former lawmaker Eun-hye Kim (pictured) in the public relations line to strengthen communication with the public.
A key passport official said on the 12th, “On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the inauguration, we will continue to take various measures to reorganize the state power next week.” President Yoon previously expressed a negative meaning to the request for personnel renewal in the presidential office, saying, “Even if you change people, it will take two or three months to go through trial and error and adapt to the work of the presidential office, but the power of government may fall once more.” However, it is known that he decided that he had to find a breakthrough through human renewal to regain the driving force behind the decline in approval ratings. President Yoon will also hold his first official press conference for regarding 40 minutes to mark the 100th day of his inauguration on the 17th.
First of all, it is known that there is a high possibility of re-appointment of former lawmaker Kim, who worked with President Yoon as a spokesperson for the president-elect at the time of the Presidential Transition Committee. Former Rep. Kim is being talked regarding as the president’s chief public relations secretary or special adviser on public relations. Former Rep. Kim challenged as a candidate for the people’s power for Gyeonggi governor in the June 1 local elections, but is currently resting following being defeated.
The passport also mentions the possibility of replacing Chief of Staff Kim Dae-gi. This is due to the criticism that political responses are not being carried out properly in the overall operation of state affairs, as all the passport leaders, such as the prime minister and the chief of staff of the president, are made up of economic bureaucrats. It is known that the search for a replacement for the chief of staff has already begun. However, a passport official said, “I know that it is somewhat difficult to find the best person in a situation where the role of the successor chief of staff in overcoming difficulties is enormous.” In addition, it seems that there will be a reorganization of the political affairs line.
It is analyzed that the low approval rate of 20% also had an effect on President Yoon’s review of the personnel renewal of the presidential office following three months of taking office. According to a poll released by Gallup Korea on the 12th (9-11), the response that President Yoon was doing well was 25%, up 1 percentage point from the previous week.
According to Gallup Korea, the approval rate of past presidents in the 100th day of inauguration following democratization was △Ex-President Roh Tae-Woo 57% △Ex-President Kim Young-Sam 83% △Ex-President Kim Dae-Jung 62% △Ex-President Roh Moo-Hyun 40% △Ex-President Lee Myung-Bak 21% △Park Geun-Hye Presidents 53% and former President Moon Jae-in 78%. President Yoon’s approval rating is similar to that of former President Lee at the time of a large-scale protest once morest the import of US beef due to the ‘mad cow disease outbreak’ in May 2008.
