On the 20th, President Moon Jae-in announces the reorganization of replacing three or four ministries, including Minister of Small and Medium Venture Business Park Young-sun. It is the third cabinet change following two reshuffles at the end of last year.
The key to this reorganization is the achievement of Minister Park, who is influential in running for the Mayor of Seoul by-election in April.

– The reorganization is aligned with the schedule of the Seoul Mayor of the Democratic Party. A key member of the Democratic Party said to this magazine that “the meeting of the Party Nomination Management Committee will be held on the 19th,” and “the decision will be made in the direction that the competition schedule starts from about the 21st.” “I initially asked Minister Park to decide where to go by the 15th, but I replied that he would delay it to the 20th.” It was because there was a strong request for wanting.”
The schedule requested by Minister Park will be completed on the 19th. There is no schedule for Minister Park on the 20th, when the reshuffle is scheduled.
Rep. Jeong Tae-ho, who was once mentioned as a successor to Minister Park, denied the standing theory, saying, “I am absolutely not.” The possibility of appointment for promotion of current Vice Minister Kang Seong-cheon, a former bureaucrat, is also raised, but there is a possibility that Park’s successor will not be nominated in this reorganization.
The key person in the passport said, “Even if the appointment of a successor is not confirmed, it may be in the form of an expression of a company without a successor because it cannot be delayed any longer.” Is formed.”
If this happens, it is expected that the political burden for Park’s resignation to run for office will be inevitable. A member of the secretary’s aide said in the phone call, “If it is a normal procedure, he has to serve as minister for a month during the hearing of his successor, but before the election, he has no choice but to endure the situation with his resignation.
