The replacement of the Chief of Staff to the President and a reshuffle of the Blue House staff have become more likely Check the direction of the personnel changes, including the selection of a successor and changes to the political affairs line
As Kang Hoonsik, the Chief of Staff to the President, has expressed his intention to resign, the possibility of a broader reshuffle of the presidential office staff is growing. This personnel change is being interpreted as part of an effort to revitalize state affairs, and there are predictions that the changes could extend from the Chief of Staff to senior secretaries and stafflevel positions.
Both inside and outside the ruling party, there is a growing view that President Lee Jaemyung may overhaul both the personnel system and the political affairs and personnel lines at the same time. In particular, analysts say that if there are further changes following Chief Kang, it could affect the overall operating structure of the presidential office.
Among those being considered as candidates for the next Chief of Staff are Chon Junho, Senior Deputy Floor Leader for Operations, lawmakers Han Junho, Park Sungjoon, and Lee Haesik. Some also predict that, in order to ease internal party conflict, someone from the nonMyeong faction could be appointed, and it is also being raised that the appointment of the Chief of Policy Office may be reviewed at the same time.
