Park, couple meeting with Yeon since the 2010s
楊, 尹 encouraged to run for general election when Daegu was demoted
As former Minister of SMEs and Startups Park Young-sun and former Director of the Korea Institute for Democracy Yang Jeong-cheol, both from the Moon Jae-in administration, are known to have been considered candidates for Prime Minister and Chief of Staff to the President, respectively, their relationship with President Yoon Seok-yeol is attracting attention.
It was reported on the 17th that President Yoon and his wife, former Minister Park, have been holding couples’ gatherings since the 2010s. Former Minister Park’s husband is an American lawyer. Former Minister Park also said in a media interview in 2022 ahead of the presidential election, “I worked as a reporter for the Ministry of Culture. (Mrs. Kim Kun-hee) She was a person who worked on special exhibitions, so she knew candidate Yoon Seok-yeol even before she married him,” he said. Former Minister Park worked as a reporter for MBC before entering politics in 2004. Former Minister Park, who has been working as a senior researcher at Harvard University’s Kennedy School, visited the site when President Yoon gave a lecture at Harvard University in April last year.
President Yoon introduced an anecdote in which he was invited to run in the general election by former Director Yang during his personnel hearing in July 2019, when he was a candidate for Prosecutor General, but he declined. President Yoon explained that he first met former Director Yang in late 2015 when he was demoted to the Daegu High Prosecutors’ Office, and said, “(Former Director Yang) urged me to run, but I refused.” Hwang, the son of the CEO of an electrical industry company who is close to President Yoon, and an administrative officer working in the President’s Office, was in charge of driving and carrying out operations when former Director Yang worked as the director of the Democratic Research Institute.
Former Minister Park, who stayed in the United States, posted on Facebook on the 16th, “I am returning to Korea a little early because I have several lectures related to the book ‘Semiconductor Sovereign State.’ He posted, “I’ll see you soon in Korea.” It is known that former Minister Park left for Japan after returning to Korea. An official close to former Minister Park said, “I understand that there was an unofficial proposal,” and “I am displeased that it is being made public as it is in the media.” Former Director Yang is also said to have expressed his position to those around him, saying, “I have no intention of holding public office any longer.”
