[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] On the 28th, the team of President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol announced regarding the appointment of the first Prime Minister, "We are looking for the best candidate who will not only be the Prime Minister but also connect the economic vice prime minister, the chairman of the Financial Services Commission, and the presidential office's chief economic secretary into an economic one-team dream team."


Kim Eun-hye, the spokesperson for the President-elect, said at a briefing held at the Financial Supervisory Service Training Institute in Tongui-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, "Regardless of the economy, we will do our best to ensure that the national administration proceeds without any gaps, becoming our one-team, one-team with the people, and a dream team."


Spokesperson Kim explained, "If a Prime Minister candidate is appointed and announced, it takes at least three weeks for the National Assembly confirmation hearings. The new Prime Minister has said that the goal is to start with the new government's term," adding, "Working backward, I think the outline of the Prime Minister candidate should be decided by early April."



Spokesperson Kim added, "Regarding the Prime Minister issue, reporters may ask whether the candidate is an economic figure related to the economic one-team and dream team," and said, "Regardless of that, we are looking for the best candidate who will manage the national administration without any gaps. I want to emphasize that the Prime Minister appointment is nothing more and nothing less than that."
