Acting President Choi Sang-mok, who presided over the first Cabinet meeting of the new year, said each member of the State Council should fulfill his duty with the responsibility of being an "acting authority" in his field.

When Acting President Choi appointed two constitutional judges on the 31st of last month, some members of the State Council protested, emphasizing the "one-team administration."

Acting President Choi said he would do his best to ensure early stability in state affairs and the recovery of the people's livelihood, and that he would only fear the evaluation of the people and history.

[Choi Sang-mok / Acting President: We fear only the evaluation of the people and history, and it is our duty as public officials to judge properly and act responsibly for the country.]

It is interpreted as meaning that it will do its best to stabilize the state of affairs while keeping a distance from the ruling and opposition parties that are only focused on political calculation methods.

This "non-intervention" stance seems to reflect concerns that extreme confusion in the political world could engulf major state affairs such as the economy and diplomacy.

In the midst of political uncertainty, Choi said that many people are worried that the government will not neglect the people's livelihood and people's safety, and that he will make an all-out effort to "respond to the crisis" with extraordinary determination.

[Choi Sang-mok / Acting President: This year's (government) report should be completely different from the normal report in terms of urgency, solution, and speed of implementation. In line with the extraordinary situation, it should be an all-out war against the crisis.]

{Acting Agency System} dispelled concerns that it would be nothing more than a report on the hard work and expressed its willingness to come up with a solution to overcome the crisis.

Acting President Choi firmly responds to North Korea's provocations based on a strong alliance between the U.S. and South Korea,

In line with the inauguration of a new U.S. government, we called for a swift response to various pending issues such as diplomacy, security, and trade.

He also said he would mobilize all available resources from the government in a speedy manner, saying there is growing concern that the people's livelihood economy will freeze further in line with the political situation.

The Ministry of Public Administration and Security and the National Police Agency asked for safety-oriented management of various rallies and protests and thoroughly prepared for safety accidents in winter.
