Yoon Seok-yeol said that his only criterion for selecting these eight people is whether they are the best candidates in charge of their respective fields and whether they lead various departments for the interests of the country and the people. He said: "Since the election, I have stated that I will not allocate personnel (by region or gender)... We look for and nominate people who are most capable of leading the various departments... Because the talent in the Republic of Korea will not be concentrated on one side, I believe (doing this) will achieve a balance in terms of region, generation and gender."
Yoon Seok-young also revealed that other nominees will be announced as soon as possible after the review process is completed.
According to reports, Yoon Seo-young said in the background of nominating Qiu Qinghao as Minister of Planning and Finance that Qiu Qinghao is an economically versatile official and has served as the first official of the Ministry of Planning and Finance (Deputy Minister) and the head of the State Adjustment Office. His planning and adjustment ability on national affairs issues has been recognized. We look forward to his professionalism and experience in Congress to consolidate the foundation of economic development and communicate smoothly with Congress. Qiu Qinghao said that the biggest task of the new government will be to stabilize prices and people's livelihoods.
Regarding the candidate for Defense Minister, Yoon Seok-hyuk said that Lee Jong-seok is professional in military operations and defense policies, and has contributed to the development of the South Korea-US alliance as the head of the Joint Joint Defense Promotion Corps. Yoon Seok-yeol said he looks forward to building a strong national defense force and maintaining close cooperation with his allies.
Lee Jong-seok said that while making full use of the US military hardware, it is very important to build a deterrent ability to resist North Korea's threat, saying, "I think we should make efforts on both sides."
