In addition to the execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon, Acting President Choi Sang-mok is under pressure and checks from both the ruling and opposition parties.
Although national and minister-level personnel appointments are taking place, it is unlikely to appoint ministers, vice ministers, and heads of major public institutions.

On the 10th of last month, Lee Bok-hyun, head of the Financial Supervisory Service, conducted a change of personnel and rearranged 74 out of 75 department head positions.
The opposition party criticized the director for making a big personnel appointment with six months left in his term, but he did not bend his conviction.
[Lee Bok-hyun / Director of the Financial Supervisory Service (National Assembly Political Affairs Committee on the 18th of last month): In reality, after June, it is only in September or October when the leadership of the financial authorities is set up, but until then, the period of 10 months is actually 10 months because market management is important for the financial authorities..]
Since then, major ministries have continued to appoint director-level officials, and Acting Chief Choi Sang-mok has also instructed the members of the State Council to proceed with the necessary personnel appointments.
[Choi Sang-mok / Acting President (last 7th): Each member of the State Council is asked to carry out their work with a sense of responsibility as acting president in their respective fields.]
In the second half of the year, the head of the overseas mission appointed according to the personnel of the head of the overseas mission is also expected to be appointed soon.
The head of public institutions is also expected to appoint personnel to a limited extent.
The president of the Korea Airports Corporation, who will settle the Jeju Air plane disaster, has been vacant for nine months.
However, it is unlikely that Vice Minister Jang and other political figures will proceed unless there is a consensus between the ruling and opposition parties.
The ministries currently vacated by the Minister are the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, and the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.
In the past, Acting President Hwang Kyo-ahn even greeted the vice minister level, causing controversy.
[Kwon Seong-dong / People's Power Floor Leader (last 8th): In addition to appointing ministers, I hope that the government will create an atmosphere for the government so that public officials can perform their duties in a lively and active manner.]
[Park Chan-dae / floor leader of the main opposition Minjoo Party (last month) : We strongly urge the appointment of public organizations to be postponed until the outcome of the Constitutional Court's impeachment trial and to freeze the appointment of high-ranking government officials.]
The vice minister-level personnel appointments, which are linked to the appointments of ministers and vice ministers, are also in a mood that has no choice but to stop.
