Son Myung-soo Appointed as New 2nd Vice Minister of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Director of Planning and Coordination Office

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Chun-hee] Son Myung-soo, Director General of Planning and Coordination at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, has been appointed as the new 2nd Vice Minister of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

The Blue House announced this through a one-point vice minister-level personnel appointment on the 16th. This fills the vacancy left by former 2nd Vice Minister Kim Kyung-wook, who resigned last December to run in the general election, after about a month.

Son Myung-soo, the new Vice Minister, was born in Seoul in 1966 and passed the 33rd Administrative Examination. Since entering public service, he has held several key positions within the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, including Director of Iksan Regional Land Management Office, Director of Airport Navigation Policy, Director of the Railway Bureau, Director of Aviation Policy Office, and Director of the Transportation and Logistics Office. Since May last year, he has been serving as the Director General of Planning and Coordination. He graduated from Yongsan High School and Korea University with a degree in Political Science and Diplomacy, and earned a master's degree in Policy Studies from Saitama University in Japan.

Although Vice Minister Son was a multi-homeowner with residences in both Seoul and Sejong, it is known that he recently sold the house he owned in Sejong and became a single-homeowner.
