Hong Ik-pyo “There is no consultation with the parties involved.”
Park Ji-won, “It’s true that these two people are close to Yeon.”
When word spread that 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, were being considered as candidates for Prime Minister and Chief of Staff to the President, respectively, opposition figures responded by saying, “This is just to sway public opinion” and calling it “an operation to destroy the opposition party.” It seemed.
Hong Ik-pyo, floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said in a phone call on the 17th, “If the public response is positive, we will proceed with it. Otherwise, I think the news was intentionally leaked to disqualify the candidate.” At the same time, he said, “I don’t think there was a proper consultation with the parties,” and “I understand that former Director Yang said that he had not even received a proposal.” He also added, “Considering that former Director Yang also rejected former President Moon’s proposal, I believe he will not accept it.”
Former Director of the National Intelligence Service Park Jie-won, who was elected by the Democratic Party of Jeollanam-do, Haenam-Wando-Jindo, also said in a phone call, “Isn’t it true that the President’s Office brought up the story of former Minister Park and former Director Yang to claim, ‘We did our best (in personnel appointments), but it didn’t work?’ “He said, “It is his intention to keep talking about people who will not (accept) on purpose and ultimately use his own people.” It is claimed that the President’s office intentionally leaked the Hippopotamus comment. He said, “It is true that both former Minister Park and his wife and former Director Yang are close to President Yoon Seok-yeol,” but “it is impossible for the parties to accept it.” “It is an operation to destroy the opposition party,” he criticized.
Former Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae, who was elected to Hanam-gap in Gyeonggi Province, also said, “It feels similar to when Kim Byeong-jun, who served as the head of policy in the Roh Moo-hyun administration, was appointed as prime minister to calm the atmosphere right before the impeachment of the Park Geun-hye administration.” He drew a line by saying, “However, we failed to get the consent of the National Assembly,” and “It is unlikely that former Minister Park will accept it because the Park Geun-hye administration ended in impeachment, proving that a single prime minister cannot change anything.” When asked if Yang, a key close associate of former President Moon, could serve as a bridge between the current and previous governments if he becomes chief of staff, he said, “Ultimately, public sentiment must support it,” adding, “That’s how important it is to build a bridge between the current and previous governments.” “Shall I?” he said.
