[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] The Presidential Office is scheduled to announce a plan to overhaul the public relations line on the 21st.

On the afternoon of the 18th, Kim Dae-gi, Chief Secretary to the President, mentioned at a briefing held at the Yongsan Presidential Office, "There are some things to review regarding the Senior Secretary for Public Relations. I will speak again this Sunday (the 21st)."

It is known that former lawmaker Kim Eun-hye, who was President Yoon's spokesperson during his presidential transition period, is the leading candidate for the new Senior Secretary for Public Relations. Accordingly, there are speculations within the ruling party that current Senior Secretary for Public Relations Choi Young-beom will move to a position as a special advisor for public relations.

Regarding this, when a reporter asked, "Former lawmaker Kim's name has been mentioned and is considered a fait accompli. Although the announcement is said to be made over the weekend, is there ongoing discussion and verification regarding personnel related to former lawmaker Kim, and has there been a meeting with President Yoon?" the response was, "This will be announced on Sunday," adding, "It will be about 2 to 3 days later anyway, so it will be done then," refraining from further comment.
