President Yoon Seok-yeol is reported to be considering reorganizing the presidential office staff, including the next prime minister and chief of staff, following his defeat in the April 10 general election.
The announcement of the successor to the chief of staff, which is expected to be announced as early as today, is expected to be difficult due to personnel scrutiny.
Several officials from the Office of the President said, “Physical time is needed to do minimal verification” and “an announcement today will likely be difficult.”
There were apparently fears that public sentiment could deteriorate due to the opposition party’s reaction if a replacement was announced four days after the general election defeat and problems emerged during the vetting process.
However, this is unlikely to take a long time because it is very likely that the desire to reform state affairs will be assessed based on the content and extent of the personnel reorganization.
The Office of the President is said to be considering various options, such as a public speech and a press conference, regarding the format of President Yoon’s statement on the general election results.
