Old shoes with open soles this time… Jung Eun-kyung’s attention as ‘a salty gatekeeper’

Jung Eun-kyung, the director of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC), is attracting attention after his old shoes were caught while announcing the final implementation plan for the ‘step-by-step recovery of daily life’ at the joint briefing room of the government complex in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 29th.

Commissioner Jeong said, “In order to establish a daily life that safely coexists with the Corona 19 virus, vaccination and quarantine rules are the most important.” During the briefing process, the soles of Chung’s shoes were open, and the front of the shoes were worn and discolored.

Since taking office, Commissioner Jeong has been suffering from hard work for nearly two years due to the spread of COVID-19. Before the Corona 19 crisis, Director Jeong had dark black hair, but now his gray hair covered the top of his head.

Previously, in July, it was also a topic of discussion with the history of ‘Salty Corporate Card’. If you look at the details of the use of business promotion expenses in June of this year, the amount of use was 3,995,400 won, and the total number of use was 32 cases. Of these, 7 were used at relatively inexpensive restaurants such as snack bars, lunch boxes, and udon shops. Ten cases were used in cafes and bakeries.

According to the new quarantine system to be introduced from the 1st of next month, as announced by Commissioner Jeong on the same day, up to 10 people in the metropolitan area and up to 12 people in non-metropolitan areas can gather. . However, only 4 people who are not vaccinated can gather at a restaurant or cafe. In addition, for the time being, the ‘Quarantine Pass’ (inoculation certificate, negative confirmation system) will be implemented at entertainment and sports facilities.
