President Lee Jae-myung presented letters of appointment to Kim Ho-chul, chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection, and Park Soo-geun, chairman of the Central Labor Relations Commission, respectively, in the Blue House interview room on the 31st.
The appointment ceremony was briefly held with a minimum of separate protocol procedures. It was operated on a shorter schedule than a commemorative photo shoot or an official event, and it was reported that the officials shared their opinions on the work through a private meeting.
Kim, a former human rights lawyer who served as chairman of the Lawyers for a Democratic Society (Minbyun), received consent for his appointment the day before after a parliamentary confirmation hearing. He served as a lawyer, served as a standing member of the military's questionnaire fact-finding committee, and co-representative of the environmental movement coalition, and served as chairman of the National Police Commission, and was also involved in securing political neutrality and democracy and fairness in the operation of the police.
Park, chairman of the Central Labor Relations Commission, is a labor dispute mediation expert who once served as the chairman of the Central Labor Relations Commission during the Moon Jae In administration, and has experienced theories and practices in the field of labor law in academia and government committees. Park took office on the 1st.
The Blue House said, "With President Lee's instructions, we avoided the empty ceremony and proceeded with the appointment ceremony simply," adding, "We will continue to operate more practical than formal."

"Eliminating unnecessary formalities and focusing on practical, policy-centered governance—this is what we need most.
Our country has too many titles and too much ceremony.
The dignity of a nation is not determined by protocol, but by the quality of its policies."
