On the 6th, the presidential office announced that it will expand and reorganize the national situation room to establish the command structure for state operations.
Kang Hoon, the Deputy Minister of the presidential office, presented a reorganization plan centered around this idea during a briefing held at the presidential office in Yongsan, Seoul, on that day.
The Deputy Minister said, "We aim to build an organization that works quickly and practically with the core principles of responsibility, future, and competence," and noted, "Through this, we will focus not only on urgent recovery of people's livelihoods, but also on national unity and future growth."
He added, "We will expand and reorganize the national situation room to establish it as the control tower for state operations," and stated, "We will transfer the National Crisis Management Center from the position of the Deputy Minister of National Security to report directly to the Minister of National Security, ensuring a definite responsibility for the nation's primary mission of public safety."
The Deputy Minister said, "The presidential office is the institution that bears ultimate responsibility for the people's lives and state affairs," and added, "With an appropriate reorganization, we will strengthen accountability and create a presidential office that earns the trust of the people."
