The Inauguration Committee Plaque is a Work by Calligrapher Park Kyung-dong... The Banner Features 'Seokyeolche' Font

Teacher Park Kyung-dong has been connected with President Yoon since 2013... Yoon "I will humbly uphold the will of the people"

[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] Attention is rising toward the nameplate of the Presidential Transition Committee (Transition Committee) office set up in Tongui-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. It is a vertical nameplate as tall as a person, carved in relief with nine characters spelling 'Daetongryeongjik Insuwiwonhoe' (Presidential Transition Committee) in the Hunminjeongeum Panbon font.

According to the Transition Committee, this nameplate was made by calligrapher Park Kyungdong Unhak, who personally carved it from pine wood. Park is said to have expressed the new government's sincere commitment to the people by carving the solemn Hunminjeongeum Panbon font in relief.

Park, originally from Yeongdong, Chungbuk, is known to have a connection with President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol, having created the nameplate for the Yeoju branch office when Yoon served as the head of that branch in 2013. At that time, Yoon was gaining fame as a tough prosecutor after defying higher-ups during the investigation of the National Intelligence Service's online comment manipulation scandal.

The font used on the backdrop banner displayed by the Transition Committee also draws attention. The committee mentioned that the handwriting was personally written by President-elect Yoon. The backdrop contains the phrase "Humbly uphold the will of the people." This is the so-called 'Seokyeolche,' Yoon's personal handwriting style.

The transition team explained, "The blue circle above 'humble' represents the sea, and the red circle above 'people' symbolizes the sun." They added, "With this meaning, it signifies going beyond the 'sea of humility' to stand beside the people and uphold the people's will to 'shine on the Republic of Korea like the sun.'"

President-elect Yoon also stated on Facebook, "The new government will be a government that works well, equipped with ability and competence, earning the trust of the people." He continued, "National interest and the people will be the standards for all government tasks," emphasizing, "There will be no gaps in national security and the people's livelihood in establishing the new government's policy agenda."
