Moon Administration Appoints 25 Year Old

It is believed that this appointment came in response to the election of 36-year-old Lee Jun-seok to the leadership of the opposition People Power Party:

Park Seong-min, the newly appointed presidential secretary for youth-related affairs. Her appointment has raised fairness issues among young people.

Cheong Wa Dae’s appointment of a 25-year-old as a presidential secretary has created stir among politicians and citizens. While the presidential office tried to demonstrate its efforts to meet young people’s needs by appointing the political rookie to the high-ranking position, many citizens ― especially young ones ― view the appointment as “unfair” amid the reality where it is difficult for the majority of young people to get a job despite years of struggle.

On Monday, Cheong Wa Dae announced Park Seong-min’s appointment as the secretary for youth-related affairs, a newly created position. 

Park was one of the liberal ruling Democratic Party of Korea’s (DPK) spokespeople representing young members, and was picked as a member of the party’s Supreme Council last August by then-party Chairman Lee Nak-yon. Still studying at Korea University, Park plans to request a leave of absence from the university soon, according to Cheong Wa Dae.

She will get a salary and other perks equivalent to those of first-level government officials in the nine-tier public servant system, in which the first-level is the top level. 

Korea Times

You can read more at the link, but Lee Jun-seok was elected into Parliament a decade ago and worked his way up through the ranks to his current position. This is in contrast to Park Seong-min who has not been elected to anything and yet was appointed to her position.

“MOON ADMINISTRATION APPOINTS 25 YEAR OLD”

It’s harsh living in that environment so kids grow up fast.

Meanwhile, the Mars Administration is basically just a second class earth with all their fancy teraforming.

[P]residential secretary for youth-related affairs

I’m glad to see the President being so transparent about his “affairs”. And his undoubtedly-not-unnatural-or-creepy interest in young women without a college degree.

“a newly created position”

Lies. I read the Kama Sutra. There are no newly created positions.

Setnaffa: Maxwell is in jail and unavailable to manage presidential youth-related affairs. Plus she is past her sell-by date. This was probably an emergency appointment.

That’s some of the most ignorant shit I have ever seen. Most 25 yr olds, especially in Korea have been been pricked by the reality of a real job. This girl is running in circles echelons above her experience level. I hope this hit blows up in Moons face.
