A controversy arose over the bias of 'Oh Nam' (Seoul National University, 50s, male) over the appointment of President Yoon Seok-yeol.
There are too many prosecutors here, and recently, it has been pointed out that even those from the Ministry of Strategy and Finance are not easy.
It is necessary to examine closely whether these comments are justified.

However, analyzing personnel is not easy.
This is because the analysis results will vary depending on how the criteria are set.
For example, if it is decided to analyze high-ranking positions in the cabinet, the question of how to set the standards for senior positions remains.
Actual media reports vary slightly.
The SBS Fact Check fact team started the analysis after clearing the standard.
<SBS fact-checking team's personnel analysis>
■ WHO?
Ministers and vice-ministers appointed by the current government, and minister-level and deputy minister-level personnel were used as the standard.
Minister-level and deputy minister-level refer to the Annual Statistical Yearbook for Public Administration and Autonomy published by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security.
The ministerial level includes ministers of government ministries, the chief of the Secretariat of the Presidential Office and the head of the Security Office, and the heads of ministerial-level institutions such as the National Intelligence Service and the Ministry of Veterans Affairs.
At the deputy minister level, deputy ministers of government ministries, chief secretaries of the presidential office, deputy heads of the National Intelligence Service or the Office of Government Policy Coordination, and heads of agencies at the deputy minister level such as the National Statistical Office or the Korea Customs Service.
■ WHEN?
It included only those who were appointed during the month from May 10 to June 10, when President Yun Seok-yeol took office.
■ How?
We have received internal appointment data compiled by the government.
The press release of the presidential office appointment was also used.
A comparison target is also needed to analyze the bias of the edge.
It was compared with the same criteria as the first cabinet of the Moon Jae-in government, namely, the appointment of ministers and vice ministers and ministers and vice ministers.
However, the Moon Jae-in government's first-term personnel analysis did not include cases of resignation due to a problem after appointment, and those appointed afterward were included in the analysis.
(Excluding Professors Park Ki-young and Kim Ki-jung, who resigned after being appointed as the head of the Ministry of Science and ICT and the second deputy director of the National Security Office)

How old is Seo Oh-nam?
.
A total of 77 ministers and vice-ministers have been appointed by President Yoon Seok-yeol in the month since his inauguration on June 10.
The cutting is still in progress.
When the appointment of ministers and vice-ministers for the first term of the Moon Jae-in government was completed, the total number of people was 105.
The figures of the 1st Minister and Vice Minister of the Yoon Seok-yeol government identified in this way are as follows.

First, let's check the controversy over 'Oh Nam Seo' one by one.
First, the percentage of women.
Enlarging an image
In the Yoon Seok-Yeol administration, eight women were appointed as ministers and vice-ministers, accounting for 10.4% of the total.
Among them were Minister of Gender Equality and Family Kim Hyun-sook, Minister of Small and Medium Venture Business Lee Young, and Minister of Environment Han Hwa-jin.
On the other hand, in the first term of the Moon Jae-in government, 15 out of 105, or 14.3%, were counted.
It can be seen that the proportion of women in the first term of the Moon Jae-in administration is slightly higher.

Here is the age analysis.

The classification by generation of first-term ministers and vice-ministers in the Yun Seok-yeol administration and the Moon Jae-in administration is almost similar.
All in their 50s, over 60%, and those in their 40s account for just over 1%.
In the 40s of the Yun Seok-yeol government, there is Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon, who was born in 1973.
It is paradoxical given that both governments emphasized the importance of youth politics.
This time, let's look at the university you came from.

The number of ministers and vice-ministers of the Yun Seok-yeol administration was found to be more from Seoul National University compared to the first term of the Moon Jae-in administration.
More than half of those at the ministerial and vice-ministerial level were appointed.
Although it is not related to Seo Onam, regional arrangement is also important in Inseon.
We also checked by region of origin.

Both governments have in common that the Yeongnam region has the largest number of regions.
However, in the Yun Seok-yeol administration, compared to the Moon Jae-in administration, there were more people from the metropolitan area and Chungcheong region, and the number of people from the Honam region decreased by nearly 20%p.
Regarding the 'Oh Nam Seo' controversy, at least based on the number of ministers and vice-ministers who have been appointed so far, it can be generally seen as true that there are many 'men' from 'Seoul National University'.

How many from the prosecution and the Ministry of Finance?
.
There is another controversy.
It also appeared on the news a lot, but it is said that there are many former prosecutors.
Recently, some pointed out that the focus is on economic officials from the Ministry of Strategy and Finance.
Based on the occupational group, the analysis was divided into those from public examinations (administrative, foreign affairs, and judicial examination), those from prosecutors, those from the Ministry of Finance, and those from elected positions.
Elected candidates were separately selected to determine the political color of the person concerned.
I also included the experience of being defeated because it was important to me that I challenged for an elected office as part of a political party.
Double counted.
For example, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Won Hee-ryong is a former public prosecutor and an elected official.

In fact, in any government, there are inevitably many graduates of the high school for ministers and vice-ministers.
This is because, in the case of deputy ministers of government, many of them are internal promotions, except in special cases.
Even taking this into consideration, it can be seen that the Yun Seok-yeol administration has more graduates from the Goshi than the first term of the Moon Jae-in administration.
Prosecutors also account for 10% of the total.
However, this is only limited to ministers and vice-ministers, and if it is expanded to the secretary of the presidential office, the number will be much higher.
The chief secretary of the presidential office is at the level of the vice-minister, but the secretary is first-class.
Although the secretary of the presidential office is not at the level of ministers and vice-ministers, it is often analyzed separately because it can be seen that the influence of state affairs is as great as that of the ministers and vice-ministers as they assist in close proximity to the president.
On the 8th, SBS reporter Park Won-kyung of the Political Department reported on the current status of one of the secretaries in the presidential office.

It is also noteworthy that many of them are from the Ministry of Finance.
It was 14.3% of the total.
Not only inside the Ministry of Finance, but also in other ministries.
Cho Kyu-hyeong, 1st Vice Minister of Health and Welfare, Cho Yong-man, 2nd Vice Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Yoon Tae-sik, Commissioner of the Korea Customs Service, Lee Jong-wook, Public Procurement Service Commissioner, and Han Hoon, director of Statistics Korea are classified as persons from the Ministry of Strategy and Finance.
In the case of the first term of the Moon Jae-in government, it was 7.6%.
In recent years, the attention of the prosecution has increased due to the country's crisis and the controversy over overhaul, but in fact, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance is the central organ of state management that holds the money chain of the Republic of Korea.
For example, among the 600 trillion won budget drafted by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, changes in the process of deliberation by the National Assembly are minimal.
The influence of the Ministry of Finance is so strong.
In the end, the team's conclusion is that the expressions commonly used in the media such as 'particularly Seo Oh Nam', 'prosecutor's bias', and 'Treasury Department' have some validity when compared to the previous government, at least in terms of ministerial and vice-minister-level personnel. no see.
.
Variety of Edges
.
In fact, there are also concerns about the meaning of 'mechanically' how well the arrangement was made based on gender, age, university, region, etc.
This is why the objection that state management ability should take precedence over national origin is also not formidable.
However, inseon is a message.
In particular, the first appointment after the inauguration of the government can be seen as a symbol of the future direction of government operation.
We live in an era where diversity is more important than ever.
There is no guarantee that community diversity will be achieved with mechanical edge distribution, but it does mean that it can at least be a first step.

For this reason, democracies in the United States and Europe are always paying attention to the allocation of personnel.
In particular, in the United States, which is a multi-racial country, once the government election is completed, media reports about the gender ratio as well as the ratio of blacks to Asians often come out.
The appointment of the Yoon Seok-yeol government is currently in progress.
The number above will change.
The SBS Fact-Eun Team is about to disclose the final result in detail once the Yoon Seok-Yeol government's first appointment is complete.
I don't want the modifier 'biased' to be added when the final results are aggregated.
