Characteristics of Lee Jae-myung's Personnel Appointments
Because the talent pool is so limited, he cannot recruit A-list candidates.
As a result, everyone mentioned in appointment rumors consists entirely of sitting lawmakers or former lawmakers who have lost their influence.
A characteristic of Lee Jae-myung is that since ministers are political appointees, he bypasses administrative matters and assigns them directly to career civil servants.
Therefore, he either appoints sitting lawmakers or promotes vice ministers to minister positions.
But is it a good idea to appoint career civil servants as ministers?
If you promote a vice minister who was doing a good job to minister, they become so overwhelmed by gratitude that they don't know how to act,
and a once-smart official turns into a "yes-man" (this is Lee Jae-myung's specialty).
A representative example is the Semiconductor Leverage ETF incident.
