Then, with reporter Shin Su-ah from the political team who covered the scene today, let’s take a closer look at the news of the cabinet announcement.
Reporter Shin Soo-ah, if you look at the faces of the candidates announced today, the same goes for former Governor Won Hee-ryong.
Did you see quite a few surprise greetings?
◀ reporter ▶
Yes, Candidate Hee-Ryong Won said that he went to Busan in the morning with a different transition schedule and came back.
It was a ‘surprise Inseon’ that I didn’t even know about.
Perhaps that is why, a question arose whether the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport lacks expertise.
Candidate Won hurriedly replied that he knew that he wanted the experts to play a central and comprehensive role in politics.
In addition, Jeong Ho-young, a former head of Kyungpook National University Hospital, who was appointed as the Minister of Welfare, has not been criticized by the media until now.
Instead, an interview was published as a 40-year ‘friend’ of the elected president, whom he had known since college.
Looking at my career, there is nothing particularly related to welfare policy other than the medical field.
President-elect Yoon seemed conscious of this and even explained that he would appoint a finance and welfare expert as vice minister to support it.

But if you look at the 8 people announced today, it seems like there could be criticism that they were all biased by gender, region of origin, and age group, right?
◀ reporter ▶
Yes, the average age is over 60 years old.
There are 5 people in their 60s and 3 people in their 50s.
Of the eight people, five are from Yeongnam, and there is only one woman.
At the interview, there were criticisms that the elected candidate lacks diversity in the selection process. In response, President-elect Yoon is in the position that the balance of region, gender, and age will naturally be balanced if the appointment is made according to ability.
It is an explanation that there will be no artificial allocation or arrangement in the future.

There will be several ministers in their 30s,
The elected president said this, but I think we have to watch the rest of the people first.
What is the reaction of the Democratic Party and the Justice Party, which heralded the verification of the awl?
◀ reporter ▶
The Democrats do not have a vision for running the government.
He criticized the announcement of a blind appointment to fill the cabinet.
Let’s hear the words of floor leader Park Hong-geun.

“They are making people frown on their eyes with their blind greetings without a philosophy, and the greetings that are shared with my family.”
In particular, critics immediately criticized Won Hee-ryong as being unsuitable for the ministerial candidate.
Candidate Won made a political offensive while claiming to be a lecturer in Daejang-dong during the presidential election process, and critics are criticizing that the selection of the original candidate without professionalism is a non-public activity.
The Justice Party also pointed out where the spirit of the times of national unity had gone.
In particular, he criticized it as a ‘Gyeongyuk-nam’s feast’, saying, “It is full of men in their 60s from Gyeongsang-do.”
