Kim Dong-yeon Former Deputy Prime Minister of Economy and Minister of Strategy and Finance [뉴시스]

If the magnitude of the two forces pulling in opposite directions is the same, the object will not even dream. Although the force is balanced, on the surface, the object is just like stationary.
In the political world these days, Kim Dong-yeon, former Deputy Prime Minister of the Economy and Minister of Strategy and Finance, is compared to such a state. In addition, both the Democratic Party and the people’s power are pulling him, but he is not even budge. Does that mean he’s just stopped? Looking back on his recent moves through his surroundings, he is constantly taking steps. However, it is still difficult to know which direction he is heading.
He posted on his Facebook page on the 18th. After media reports that he could run as a candidate for the Democratic Party together in the 4/7 Seoul Mayor’s by-election, interest in him grew, and he himself evolved this. He said, “It seems that our politics can change only when there is a change of power that is comparable to a change of power, not a new blood transfusion of one or two people.” “It is not a’competition’ to win our politics, but a new version of the war.張)’ is needed” added. It wasn’t this time, but it seemed like a bigger task was in front of him.
As he said, “I received invitations and requests to run for the mayor of Seoul from various places and branches,” the courtship for him was actually great. Former Deputy Prime Minister Kim said, “About a week before the rumors of running for a run, I had clearly rejected the requests of people to become a Democratic Party candidate.” “After the media report, it is difficult for me to keep quiet. I know that I have publicly announced my intention to refuse to run on Facebook.”
During the contact process, Democrats said that they persuaded him, saying, “Because it can absorb the middle class, it is competitive in the finals” and “If the Seoul mayoral election is lost, next year’s presidential election is also dangerous.” In the Democratic Party, there is also a saying that “I didn’t succeed in recruiting in the end, but just by imprinting the image of’Former Deputy Prime Minister Kim = person on the Democratic Party’ side,” he said.
“I have been asked to run after the press, but I refused”

Although he was not a candidate for the mayor of Seoul, it is said that the people’s power also invited him to join. Another person close to former Deputy Prime Minister Kim said, “There was a proposal to indirectly join the people’s strength,” while “Former Deputy Prime Minister Kim has never met Kim Jong-in, Chairman of the People’s Power Emergency Response Committee.” Rep. Seong Il-jong, a member of the People’s Strength Emergency Response Committee, also said in a radio interview on the 18th, “Because former Deputy Prime Minister Kim is a fresh, economic expert, and a very good resource with a personal story, the story of such (recruitment) has come and gone among our party members. “It’s true.”
Even politicians who know him well are putting their weight on the side of not joining a specific party for the time being. Lee said, “Former Deputy Prime Minister Kim is not the person to join any party,” and said, “A person with a propensity for midway, reform, and innovation.” He served in the Blue House of the Lee Myung-bak administration, served as the head of the State Affairs Coordination Office (ministerial level) in the Park Geun-hye administration, and served as Deputy Prime Minister of the Economy in the Moon Jae-in administration. It is recognized by both camps, but he is not very interested in the existing opposition parties.
“I’m not the one to join any political party… Moderate·reform·innovation tendency”

Then, why did we talk about’replacement of forces’ and’need for light warfare’? After his father’s death, he played the most role as a boy in a shack in Cheonggyecheon stream, and was admitted through Joo-gyeong-ya reading. Even though he was in charge of the economic command tower in the current government, it seems that the experience of having a so-called 586th generation passport politician colliding with the so-called 586 generation passport politician and suffering from the controversy of’Kim Dong-yeon passing (skipping)’ has also strengthened such thinking.

Then is he having a bigger dream, a dragon dream? There are many reactions around him saying, “I don’t know,” as to whether he is likely to run for the presidential election that has been approaching for over a year. On the other hand, few people strongly deny that “it doesn’t happen.” Political officials who recently spoke with former Vice Prime Minister Kim on the issue of running for mayor of Seoul said, “Rather than thinking that I will run for president, I will go to the presidential election.I said. It means that you are open to possibilities.
What would a friend who knew him from when he was young think? His alumni of Deoksusang High School (now Deoksu High School) described him as “a person who is so rough and neat that he will not come out with a drop of blood even if pierced with a needle.” “When I was young, I was sprout, but I think it was polished while in public office.” He said, “When I was in public office, I came to a synchronous meeting for a while and went to the meeting with a light on my face, but these days, it doesn’t come out.”
“People who are stiff and neat and don’t get blood even if they stab with a needle”

Former Deputy Prime Minister Kim is working hard recently is the’pleasant rebellion’ activity, which he is chairman of. Regarding the purpose of the organization’s establishment, he explained in a media interview that “to facilitate social mobility by laying the ladder of class movement.” The vision of this organization, introduced on the internet homepage, is “A society where each person can achieve their dreams through’self-chance’It was. The concept is to support young people who draw a trajectory of life different from the controversy of’Dad Chance’ and’Mom Chance’.
Deoksu High School Alumni Association serves as his strong supporter. Although family conditions were relatively difficult, Deoksu Sang High School, where many well-studied students went on to study, was a traditional high school. So,’Dukchul-i’ (a nickname that Deoksu Sang High School calls by himself) has been prominent in the financial world from an early age. Then, in the Moon Jae-in administration, former Deputy Prime Minister Kim Dong-yeon (63 times) and former Blue House Chief Job Secretary Ban Jang-sik (61 times) came to the end of the relationship, and when Supreme Justice Cho Jae-yeon (62 times) received attention in the legal profession, “the era of Deoksu Sanggo has opened.”
The Deoksu High School Alumni Newsletter opened the first’Alumni Relay Interview’ section in April of last year. The first runner was former Vice Prime Minister Kim. In this interview, he asked,’Everyone expects to do bigger things for the country, but do you have any plans to actively go out for the honor of your alma mater?’I worked in public office all my life. Any hesitation in doing things for the country“I replied.
