Choi was an expert in international finance and served as the deputy governor of the Financial Supervisory Service before moving onto the Eximbank Korea. The choice of an energy expert who has a Ph.D in ceramic engineering at Clemson University, U.S. comes after Moon’s initiative to wean the country off nuclear and fossil-fueled power.

In the posts that do not require legislative confirmation, Hong Jang-pyo, professor of economics at Pukyong National University, was named presidential secretary for economy while Bahn Jahng-shick, head of the Management of Technology Graduate School at Sogang University, was recruited as the senior presidential secretary to promote jobs.
