As the acting presidential system Choi Sang-mok has established itself to some extent, the appointment of public officials and managers, which has been suspended, is resuming.

The Ministry of Strategy and Finance has recently started director-level personnel appointments by reinforcing the function of acting supervisor, and various ministries, including the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of Education, are also making a series of director-level personnel appointments at the beginning of the year.

The appointment of overseas diplomatic heads is also expected to resume soon, mainly vocational diplomats.

Earlier, at a Cabinet meeting on the 7th, Acting President Choi Sang-mok mentioned that he would discuss candidate verification with the presidential office's personnel and public office discipline secretary's office in order to conduct necessary personnel appointments for each ministry and make personnel appointments legal.

Acting Choi, however, is unlikely to exercise the right to appoint ministers and vice ministers and heads of public institutions.

A government official said the acting president is expected to maintain his stance that he will not exercise ministerial personnel rights unless there is a consensus between the ruling and opposition parties.

At a high-level party-government council meeting on the 8th, Kwon Sung-dong, floor leader of the People's Power Party, said, "The welfare of civil servants is getting worse in the impeachment situation, and personnel is the only way to resolve it," adding, "Acting Choi should prevent the welfare of the Ministry of National Defense, the head of security and security, the appointment of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, and personnel from each ministry."

However, on the 20th of last month, when Han Deok-soo was acting president, the Democratic Party of Korea urged Han to postpone the appointment of public officials until the results of the Constitutional Court's impeachment trial and freeze the appointment of high-ranking government officials.
