Former Blue House Chief of Staff Working as a Special Advisor in the UAE

If anyone is wondering what happened to the former Blue House Chief of Staff and North Korean bagman, Im Jong-seok after he resigned, don’t worry because he was given a golden parachute of a position in the UAE:

Nearly two weeks after President Moon Jae-in let his former chief of staff go in a show of reform, the Blue House announced Monday that Im Jong-seok will return as Moon’s special advisor for the United Arab Emirates (UAE). 

Han Byung-do, former senior secretary for political affairs, was named Moon’s special advisor for Iraq. 

Blue House spokesman Kim Eui-kyeom said during a press briefing Monday that Im had strengthened mutual trust between Korea and the UAE while serving as presidential chief of staff, and that based on this, the Blue House expects him to contribute immensely to boosting Korea’s national interests in his new post as advisor for the UAE.
