Kim Min-seok Appoints 7 Special Aides, Including Jeong Bong-ju

As a result, Kang Shin-sung, former Vice President of the Korea Sports Council, was named for the social organizations field; former lawmaker Jeong Bong-ju for planning; and lawyer Song Ho-chang for US diplomacy.

The host stated, "Yes, Kang Shin-sung, former Vice President of the Korea Sports Council, was for the social organizations field, right? And former lawmaker Jeong Bong-ju for planning, and lawyer Song Ho-chang for US diplomacy," introducing the key appointees.

The most notable figure in these appointments is former lawmaker Jeong Bong-ju's return as a special aide for planning. Former lawmaker Jeong Bong-ju had aimed for the chief position when he was elected to the supreme council in the past but was dismissed due to his 'Myeongpari remark,' and has not appeared on any broadcasts since.

The host said, "The most attention-grabbing person is undoubtedly Special Aide Jeong Bong-ju. Former lawmaker Jeong Bong-ju aimed for the chief position when he was elected to the supreme council, but it fell through because of the Myeongpari remark. Since then, former lawmaker Jeong Bong-ju could not be seen on any broadcasts, in fact," suggesting his return is part of a unifying move.

These special aide appointments are interpreted as a personnel move for unity within the greater democratic camp. In particular, leader Kim Min-seok and Special Aide Jeong Bong-ju were rivals for the chief supreme council member position in the past. Through these appointments, it appears that opportunities are being given to non-mainstream figures within the party, promoting the unity of traditional supporters.

The host explained, "For the unity within the greater democratic camp, which united to liquidate the forces of rebellion, in that sense, Special Aide Jeong Bong-ju was actually a rival of current leader Kim Min-seok for that chief supreme council member position, right?"

He reportedly conveyed a recommendation to the President not to appoint President In.

The host said, "Yesterday, regarding the appointment of In Yo-han, President of the Korean Red Cross, who is called a conservative figure, he also negatively recommended to the President, saying it would be better not to appoint him." This was analyzed as leader Kim's political advice on the Red Cross situation, which is composed of directors appointed by the Yoon Suk-yeol government.

Compared to former leader Jeong Cheong-rae's era, the party leader's role is becoming more concrete, showing practical leadership by handling daily party affairs and filling policy gaps that the government may have overlooked.

The host commented, "After the new party leader Kim Min-seok took office, we are newly realizing how much work a party leader has these days. Ultimately, this means the party leader handles daily party affairs while filling policy gaps that the government may have overlooked," suggesting that he is also playing a role in alleviating President Lee Jae-myung's burden of state administration.

He evaluated leader Kim as the best meeting facilitator in Korea, describing him as a typical facilitator who presides over productive meetings.

The host said, "Leader Kim Min-seok is the best meeting facilitator in Korea. Facilitation is a recent popular trend, and he is known as a typical facilitator who presides over productive meetings," emphasizing leader Kim's characteristics in contrast to former leader Jeong Cheong-rae's 'soda-pop remarks' style of speaking.

However, this can also be interpreted as a process where, from the perspective of the party leader's leadership, unique roles are assigned by understanding the individual characteristics and capabilities of each person.

The host commented, "Some view this as leader Kim Min-seok distributing positions to the lawmakers who helped him during this party convention as if they were spoils of war. However, the most important role as a party leader is to understand individual characteristics and capabilities and assign unique roles," emphasizing that this is a process of forming an organization by a prepared party leader.
