[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seoyun] On the 13th, President Yoon Seok-yeol appointed former lawmaker Na Kyung-won as the Vice Chairperson of the Low Birthrate and Aging Society Committee.

The Presidential Office announced this through a press release, describing former lawmaker Na as "the right person to actively support the Yoon Seok-yeol administration's national agenda, including solving the low birthrate issue, jobs in the 100-year life era, health, and care support, based on her extensive experience and expertise in the health and welfare sector."

Former lawmaker Na Kyung-won is a prominent female politician in the conservative camp who served as a member of the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th National Assemblies. She also served as the floor leader of the Liberty Korea Party, the predecessor of the People Power Party, during the 20th National Assembly.

She was a member of the National Assembly's Health and Welfare Committee and served as the chairperson of the Special Committee on Low Birthrate and Aging Measures. In 2017, she also proposed an amendment to the Framework Act on Low Birthrate and Aging Society.

Attorney Seok Dong-hyun was appointed as the Secretary General of the National Unification Advisory Council.

Attorney Seok is known as President Yoon's "friend of 40 years." He left the prosecution after serving as the head of the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office and entered politics. He served as the external cooperation special advisor for the Yoon Seok-yeol campaign during the last presidential election.

President Yoon is scheduled to present appointment letters to them at the Yongsan Presidential Office building on the 14th.
