[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] Jeong Se-gyun, the nominee for Prime Minister, stated on the 7th, "If I become Prime Minister, I will not hesitate to speak frankly to the President."

At the confirmation hearing held at the National Assembly that day, when Kim Sang-hoon, a member of the Liberty Korea Party, asked, "Are you willing to suggest corrections to President Moon Jae-in's wrong policy directions?" he responded accordingly.

Jeong added, "The Prime Minister is the person who frequently communicates with the President," and said, "If the Prime Minister does not convey the voice of the people, there will be no channel for others to communicate regularly."

He explained, "The opposition party speaks out publicly about (mistakes), and the ruling party discusses them through party-government consultations, and in some cases, directly informs the President," adding, "I understand that the ruling party frequently discusses problems or difficulties through party-government consultations."

Jeong also expressed his determination for economic revitalization, saying, "What the people consider most important is the issue of making a living." He said, "If I am confirmed as Prime Minister, I plan to focus all efforts on economic revitalization and unity that the people desire in this era," and added, "I will be a Prime Minister chasing two rabbits: an economic Prime Minister and a unifying Prime Minister."
