Top office appoints figures with "extensive experience" as key secretaries

President Lee Jae-myung continues to fill key posts at the presidential office, with four-term lawmaker Woo Sang-ho tapped as his secretary for political affairs.

Also named were Lee Kyu-youn, former CEO of local cable channel JTBC, as presidential secretary for public relations and communication and prosecutor-turned-lawyer Oh Kwang-soo as secretary for civil affairs.

In a briefing on Sunday, Lee's chief of staff Kang Hoon-sik said Woo was chosen to coordinate bipartisan communication and achieve integration based on his extensive legislative experience.

He added that Lee, a veteran journalist, has been chosen to prioritize communication with the people while Oh has a profound understanding of the president's philosophy on prosecutorial reform.
