I mistakenly thought Lee Jae-myung would eliminate preferential treatment for former officials lol
Once again, a former prosecutor and Kim & Chang alumnus… Looking at past Civil Affairs Secretaries
Regardless of whether the administration is progressive or conservative, the pattern of "Kim & Chang lawyers from a prosecutorial background" seizing the position of Presidential Secretary for Civil Affairs continues to repeat.
According to legal circles on the 22nd, President Lee Jae-myung appointed Han Chan-sik, a lawyer from Kim & Chang (21st Judicial Research and Training Institute class), as the new Secretary for Civil Affairs yesterday. Secretary Han is a representative former prosecutor from the "special investigation" unit. He held high-ranking prosecutorial positions, including Deputy Prosecutor General of the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office and Chief Prosecutor of the Ulsan, Suwon, and Seoul Dongbu District Prosecutors' Offices. While serving as the Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul Dongbu District Prosecutors' Office, he led the investigation into the "Ministry of Environment blacklist" targeting the Moon Jae-in administration.
His predecessor, former Civil Affairs Secretary Bong Wook (19th class), was also from Kim & Chang and the prosecution. He left the prosecution after serving as Deputy Prosecutor General of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in 2019 and joined Kim & Chang in 2022. During that time, he was appointed as the Secretary for Civil Affairs last June. To date, a total of six individuals from Kim & Chang have been selected as Secretary for Civil Affairs, two of whom come from the Lee Jae-myung administration.
