On the 2nd and 3rd, the Prime Minister candidate Han Deok-soo's personnel hearings were held, but the date of the plenary session of the National Assembly to vote on the approval bill has not yet been set.
In order to appoint a new government member of the State Council, a proposal from the prime minister is required.
Accordingly, Prime Minister Kim Bu-gyeom has decided to propose a new government member of the State Council for which the personnel hearing report has been adopted.
A key official in the Prime Minister's Office said, "Prime Minister Kim has decided to recommend the appointment of seven candidates for whom the hearing report has been adopted, including Choo Kyung-ho, a candidate for Minister of Strategy and Finance tomorrow afternoon."
Prime Minister Bu-gyeom Kim is scheduled to resign in the morning of the next day.
If this happens, the Yun Seok-yeol administration is expected to hold the first cabinet meeting to submit the second supplementary budget bill to the National Assembly on the 12th.
Former President Moon Jae-in yesterday (9th) approved the dismissal of only three people, including Education Minister Yoo Eun-hye, Justice Park Beom-gye, and Unification Minister Lee In-young, while the rest of the ministers were to cooperate with the new government's first cabinet meeting, the Blue House explained.
Combining the seven members proposed by Prime Minister Kim for appointment and the remaining government ministers would meet the constitutional quorum of 15 for the State Council.
In the midst of this, President Yoon Seok-yeol announced the appointment of 20 deputy ministers from 15 ministries including Lee Do-hoon, former head of the Korean Peninsula Peace and Negotiation Headquarters, to the second vice minister of foreign affairs.
It is interpreted as a plan to run state affairs with the next best solution centered on the vice minister in preparation for the delay in the appointment of the minister.
Kim Kyu-hyeon, former deputy director of the National Security Office of the Park Geun-hye administration, was appointed as the head of the National Intelligence Service.
