On the 15th, President Yoon Suk-yeol promoted and appointed Jeong Hye-jeon, a former journalist, as the spokesperson for the Presidential Office, according to Lee Do-woon, the Chief of Public Relations.

Spokesperson Jeong worked as a reporter and anchor at Segye Ilbo, Maeil Business Newspaper, Chosun Ilbo, and TV Chosun.

Afterwards, she worked at private companies such as McKinsey & Company and IHQ, and since the end of last year, she has served as a senior administrative officer in the Public Relations Planning Office of the Presidential Office.

Chief Lee described Spokesperson Jeong as "someone who is expected to become an excellent communication partner with the media going forward."

Spokesperson Jeong said, "I feel a great sense of responsibility to take on the role of spokesperson during these difficult times," adding, "I will frequently engage with the media to explain President Yoon Suk-yeol's and the government's national governance philosophy in more detail."

She continued, "I will clearly state what is right and what is not," and added, "A spokesperson is not only a position for speaking but also for listening. I will convey messages well while listening carefully."

The predecessor, Spokesperson Kim Soo-kyung, was appointed as the Vice Minister of Unification.
