In the end, IBK President Yoon Jong-won decided not to take over as the head of the Office of Government Policy Coordination.
It was recommended by Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, but it was not possible when the ruling party, the People's Power, publicly opposed it.
The Responsible Prime Minister system seems to be crooked from the start.

Yoon Jong-won, the head of the Industrial Bank of Korea, who was appointed as the head of the Office of Government Policy Coordination to assist the Prime Minister, announced that he would not take the post.
After public opposition from the ruling party continued over the issue of his background as chief economic officer of the Moon Jae-in government, he ultimately chose to go.
In a call with SBS, CEO Yoon explained, "It was very burdensome to be controversial during the verification process."
Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, who heard about President Yoon's death through media reports, said, "I respect President Yoon's decision," and said "I will consider a new appointment." "I will respect the opinion of the Prime Minister," he said.
The passport, which publicly criticized the nominee Yoon, immediately expressed its welcome.
[Kwon Seong-dong/People's Power Floor Leader: It would have been better to do it a little earlier, but I'm really grateful that you stepped down after facing public opinion.
] Criticism poured in.
[Oh Ki-hyeong / Democratic Party's spokesperson: Where is the prime minister who can't even recommend the head of the Office of Government Policy Coordination?
It became clear that he was a protocol prime minister and a plant prime minister.]
The Justice Party also criticized it as "the shabby figure of a responsible prime minister that President Yoon promised many times."
It is inevitable to point out that the president's promise of a responsible prime minister to return practical powers to the prime minister has failed from the start.
