Former secretary Kang Kang-goo mentioned as the team leader of the affiliated office… “Practical punishment” for the right side to point out ‘doorknob power’
In the new post of the new president-elect Yoon Seok-yeol, the personnel and secretary of the presidential office, the closest aides to the general public prosecutor’s office during Yoon’s time as prosecutor-general are being mentioned. Former Chief Prosecutor Bok Doo-gyu, who will be in charge of overall personnel affairs, is likely to be appointed as the HR planning officer, while Yoon Jae-soon, secretary-general of the Bucheon District Prosecutors’ Office, is being considered as the secretary for general affairs, who will be responsible for maintaining the presidential office. Prosecutors working-level staff who have served as investigators, etc., are regarding to enter the presidential office one following another.
Secretary-General Yoon, who is mentioned as the secretary for general affairs, is a former prosecutor of the prosecution and is currently working in the office of the elected secretary. Secretary-General Yoon served as the head of the operation support division of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office when Yoon served as the Prosecutor General. It is said that he and Yoon-elect can treat him more casually than the deputy chief and chief prosecutor. An official from Yoon’s side said, “I know that Secretary-General Yoon worked well with Yoon as he served as the head of the operation support division for the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, so he was not promoted further because the Moon Jae-in administration was tagged with the ‘Yun Seok-yeol line’.”
Former Secretary-General Bok Bok, who is a powerful personnel planning officer, is also a person who worked with Yoon-elect Yoon during his time as prosecutor-general. The Chief Prosecutor General oversees the personnel and administrative affairs of the Prosecutor’s Office and is the highest-ranking public prosecutor. He also manages the special activities expenses of the prosecution. Former Secretary General Bok entered the prosecution as a 9th-level investigator and rose to the rank of 1st-level civil servant. At the time of his tenure as the Prosecutor General, Yoon-elect initially recommended another person as the Chief Prosecutor’s Office, but as he worked with Bok, it was said that they were a good match for each other. After his retirement, former general secretary Bok moved to a position as an outside director of a domestic film-related company in March, but resigned voluntarily on the 20th, a month later.
Kang Kang-gu, a former secretary to the Prosecutor General who was dispatched to the Presidential Takeover Committee, and head of the investigation support division of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office is also being mentioned as the leader of the presidential office. Some have pointed out that President-elect Yoon is creating ‘doorknob power’ by placing the closest working-level staff in the prosecution office in the personnel and general affairs lines. Regarding this, an official from Yoon’s side said, “Secretary-General Yoon, former Secretary-General Bok, and Manager Kang are all junior prosecutors that Yoon-elect believes, but they are working-level officials with no political flair.” Another official said, “The purpose is to increase the control of the presidential office by making sure that President-elect Yoon manages things.”
In addition, it is known that Yoon-elect’s side will deploy a large number of former civil servants, not politicians, in the personnel and general affairs lines of the presidential office and the annexes. An official from Yoon-elect’s side said, “It is the will of the elected president to reduce the scope for HR lines to become mainstream and to create a ‘neulgong (professional civil servant)-type’ system.”
