[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] President Yoon Seok-yeol approved the appointment of Kim Joo-hyun as the Financial Services Commission Chairman on the morning of the 11th and presented the appointment letter. He is the fourth high-ranking official appointed without a parliamentary confirmation hearing under the new administration.



Earlier, President Yoon requested the National Assembly to resend the personnel hearing report on Chairman Kim, but when no response was received by the deadline (the 8th), he proceeded with the appointment on this day. The day before, a presidential office official met with reporters at the Yongsan Presidential Office building and said, "Given the current economic situation, there are too many urgent issues for the livelihood economy, so we cannot leave the position vacant any longer," signaling the approval of the appointment.
