“Jung Eun-kyung, the head of the headquarters, is the person I chose”
President Moon Jae-in said that several times he spoke about Jung Eun-kyung, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, several times in a meeting with Blue House staff.
There was no doubt that Jung Eun-kyung would be appointed as the first director of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Furthermore, on the 11th, President Moon went to Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, where he had a direct copy to deliver an appointment letter to the new Commissioner Chung.
In general, it is unusual for the president to personally know the letter of appointment of the staff at the vice-minister level, considering the delivery of the Prime Minister. In the Moon Jae-in administration, the newly appointed Commissioner of the Maritime Police, Kim Hong-hee, and Security Warrant Officer Yeon-sang received an appointment letter directly from the President at the vice-minister level. However, unlike the previous two cases, President Moon approached Jill directly to grant the letter of appointment. For the formality of the protocol, the presentation ceremony is usually held at the Blue House, but it is the first time in history that the President travels directly to obtain a letter of appointment at the workplace. It is also the first time that Moon Jae-in’s management has granted an appointment letter before the official start date (12) of the person to be hired. A Blue House official said: “It is not to call the field commander during the war to give the letter of appointment, but to go and give the letter of appointment.” It has a meaning of trust and expectation for the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “
◇ “Get the best experts” … First female general manager, vice minister of longevity
Immediately after his inauguration, President Moon directly appointed Jung Eun-kyung as the first director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in July 2017, and gave him unlimited confidence by appointing him as the most senior vice minister. former Moon Jae-in administration and the first director of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
President Moon was well aware of the importance of the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through the situation of MERS in 2015.
Democratic Party lawmaker Yun Gun-young, a former Blue House national planning and situation officer, said on his social media site, President Moon, who was the head of the central office for quality management, “Get the top experts in public safety and disease management. “Security is the area where there is no room for the intervention of political opinion,” he said. “Especially in epidemics, the initial response to the situation is very important, so you must bring in experienced experts.”
The relationship between President Moon and General Manager Jung dates back to the MERS outbreak in May 2015. President Moon visited Jilbon as a representative of the then opposition party, the New Democratic Political Federation (now the Democratic Party of Korea), and received a briefing from the director of the Jilbon Prevention Center, the director of Jeong headquarters.
President Jung, who accurately recognized the situation and explained the situation calmly, appeared before President Moon’s eyes as everyone struggled against the virus.
The appointment of Jung Eun-kyung, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, received a lot of attention at the time. Sede Jung was the first female head of headquarters after the rating was created in 2004, and was assessed as an exceptional person by omitting the ‘head of office’ of the head of the emergency situations center at the director level and being appointed head of headquarters.
◇ “I’m always grateful and sorry”… ‘Surprise visit’ with a special meal of steamed ribs
President Moon’s mercenary skills showed their true value in the Corona 19 crisis situation.
Unlike in the past, when there was a lot of confusion in the epidemic situation, General Manager Jung’s briefing is evaluated as giving people “confidence”. Headquarters chief Jung focused on minimizing confusion by reporting the correct coronavirus situation and urging the public to apply quarantine measures.
President Moon paid special attention to General Manager Jung in the response process to Corona 19. In the two-way response speech of ‘Quarantine and economics’, the ‘Quarantine’ part received confidence in the judgment of the Headquarters of Security and Disaster Countermeasures and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, focusing on Prime Minister Chung Sye-gyun.
On January 26, when the first confirmed corona19 patient occurred in Korea, President Moon called Jung’s headquarters and encouraged the hard work of Jilbon employees. When I visited Namdaemun Market on February 12, I bought liquid red ginseng products for Jung and Jilbon employees.
On February 20, after the ’31 confirmed person ‘came out, during a 15-minute phone call with Jung’s headquarters, he said, “If you need any strong measures, please contact us at any time.” Regarding the quarantine, the president and the government expressed their willingness to support the judgment of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is responsible for the practice.
During the rapid increase in the number of confirmed patients in Daegu, in a meeting at the Blue House, President Moon referred to Headquarters Head Chung and said, “Wouldn’t I be a bit collapsed? Usually in this situation , I lose my Mac, but I was worried, “What is my physical strength?” “I want you to keep working anyway.”
On March 11, President Moon visited Jilbon with a ‘special meal’ of ‘surprise’ braised ribs. After taking office, President Moon, who visited the country for the first time, visited at night, not in the morning, so as not to interfere with work, and omitted reports and briefings.
At that time, President Moon had dinner at a restaurant near Jilbon with the Jeong Eun-gyeong headquarters, but it is said that the place for dinner was also chosen as a favorite place by Chung’s boss and was considered.
President Moon, who encountered the second question after taking office that day, said: “I am always grateful and sorry for all of you.” Please understand that it contains the best gratitude and encouragement of the people. “
