[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Woo Sang-ho, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, pointed out on the 19th regarding the reorganization of the Presidential Office centered on the reorganization of the Public Relations Chief's Office, "It can only be analyzed that President Yoon Seok-yeol and his close aides judge, 'Everything was done well, but the support rate dropped due to insufficient publicity.'"

Chairman Woo mentioned this during the Democratic Party Emergency Response Committee meeting held at the National Assembly that day, saying, "The Presidential Office announced that it would partially reorganize."

He stated, "Evaluations over the past 100 days mainly analyzed that issues such as personnel problems, policy confusion, and various controversies related to the President's wife, Kim Geon-hee, which caused public displeasure, were the reasons for the decline in approval ratings."

Regarding this reorganization of the Presidential Office, Chairman Woo said, "This is not reform but a functional reinforcement," adding, "The diagnosis was wrong, and the prescription was also wrong." He questioned, "How can promoting Choi Young-beom from Public Relations Chief to Public Relations Special Advisor and appointing former lawmaker Kim Eun-hye as Public Relations Chief be considered reform? Isn't this a forward appointment of key aides?"

He warned once again, "I want to caution that with this kind of diagnosis and prescription, public sentiment cannot be won."
