There are two ministries where the new minister has not yet arrived.

The Ministry of Education failed the candidate, and Ho-young Jung, the Minister of Health and Welfare, is on hold.

President Yoon Seok-yeol said he would consider further, but it seems that a decision that meets the public's eye level is necessary.



You are the best reporter.

On the way to work, President Yoon Seok-yeol answered the question of whether or not to appoint Jeong Ho-young as Minister of Health and Welfare.

Let's review it a little more.]



Two weeks have passed since the hearing of candidate Chung ended in lameness, with neither forceful appointment nor withdrawal of the nomination.



Even though the ruling party leaders, such as Representative Lee Jun-seok and floor leader Kwon Seong-dong, expressed their concerns about the appointment, it is withheld and withheld again.



A high-ranking official in the presidential office said that President Yoon believed that the allegations raised against Chung were not as serious as they thought.



If there is a reason for disqualification, they will stop it, but not to the extent that it is.



However, if the appointment is forced on the ground that yesterday (16th) emphasized bipartisan cooperation three times in the municipal administration speech, cooperation with the opposition is practically difficult.

In the vicinity of the presidential office, there is a hope that candidate Chung will open the way for his voluntary resignation.



However, it is reported that candidate Chung recognizes that his voluntary resignation is a matter directly related to his honor as his fellow professors have also been criticized by Democratic lawmakers at the hearing.



The choice is up to the president.



It is President Yoon's opinion that the approval of candidate Chung and Prime Minister Han Deok-soo cannot be the subject of a deal, but it is pointed out that the president himself needs a quick decision on the candidate Chung in the sense that the burden is growing not on the individual candidate's honor level, but on the management of state affairs. .
