With Chung Un-chan, former head of the Seoul National University appointed as nominee for prime minister, changes were made in six other areas including the defense, knowledge and economy, justice, labor, and gender equality ministries.

Chung, one of the leading economic scholars in the nation, was designated as the Lee Myung-bak registration’s second PM mainly due to his economic expertise and his vast network of global human resources, according to a press release by the presidential office.

“Prime Minister-nominee Chung is expected to be able to assist the president in his pursuit of people-friendly policies as he is one of our country’s most well-known economic experts and has the leadership and global network to help integrate our society,” Kim Eun-hye, a spokeswoman for the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae, told a press briefing.

Meanwhile, the presidential office announced a new post called minister without portfolio, which does not represent a particular ministry but has a vote in cabinet decisions, and appointed Joo Ho-young, first vice leader of the ruling Grand National Party (GNP), as the minister.

All cabinet post designates are to go through parliamentary confirmation hearings upon the government’s request, according to the South Korean law, although parliamentary endorsement is not mandatory.

“The government will request the National Assembly to approve the nominations as soon as it prepares all the related documents, “the Cheong Wa Dae spokeswoman said.

The National Assembly opened its 100-day regular session earlier on Tuesday.
