Jeong Jin-seok, the new chief of staff of the presidential office. Yonhap News Agency reported that the new chief of staff of the President’s Office, Jin-seok Jeong, said on the 24th: “It is undesirable for messages to be sent sporadically in the name of an official from the President’s Office “.

Participants reported that Director Chung spoke along these lines at the first meeting with senior secretaries hosted this morning at the Yongsan Presidential Office. He also stated: “The Office of the President is a working organization, not a talking organization” and “Politics in the Office of the President is conducted by the President, not the secretary.”

These remarks are interpreted as an attempt to indirectly highlight the confusing messages and suspicions of covert behavior that emerged after the “opposition nomination rumors” recently reported in a message from an official from the President’s office, and to correct the internal discipline.

Director Jeong also said, “Supporting the president well means being loyal to the country,” and added, “I will take the initiative first. He is said to have stressed: “Your patriotism must be directed towards the president and the people.”

In the afternoon, President Yoon Seok-yeol handed over letters of appointment to Director Chung and the new Senior Secretary for Political Affairs Hong Cheol-ho.
