Wall Street Journal, an economic magazine in the United States, focused on leaders responsible for corona response in each country. In particular, Jung Eun-kyung, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, dealt with importance.

American leadership expert Sam Walker wrote in a column to the Wall Street Journal that disease management leaders from around the world have emerged as 'real heroes'.

In the Corona19 crisis, professional bureaucrats are 'real heroes' rather than politically calculated elected leaders.

The main examples include Eun-Kyung Jung, Head of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, National Allergy and Epidemic Research Center in the United States, Chief Medical Officer in the United Kingdom, and Health Minister in Kenya.

In particular, we have devoted a considerable amount of time to introducing the case of General Manager Chung.

"The consistent and candid comments made by General Manager Eun-Kyung Jeong, the analysis based on information, and the patience and calm are powerful for the public," said the column.

Another column was introduced in the column that General Chung was reluctant to talk about himself, avoided social media, and politely declined requests for interviews.

However, the column ended with the fact that General Jung was asked briefly about the amount of sleep during the briefing and answered "Sleep more than an hour."
