[On-point] S. Korea's Lee unveils picks for key Cabinet posts --How will this shape his policy?

President Lee Jae Myung this week unveiled his picks for key Cabinet posts.

For more on how this will determine the country's policies, we're joined by Professor Song Se-ryun, Professor of Law at Kyung Hee University.

Thanks for joining us this morning.

1. President Lee has now nominated Cabinet ministers, including foreign and defense ministers. What's notable was that he named the first civilian defense minister in decades how are these appointments expected to shape the country's policy?

2. We saw President Lee appoint the Constitutional Court chief and the commissioner of the National Tax Service yesterday. But we are still waiting for the president to appoint several key posts including the justice minister, the finance minister, and the education minister. Why is this taking so long, and when can we expect them to be named?

3. The final confirmation hearing for Prime Minister nominee Kim Min-seok ended Wednesday without resuming following clashes between rival parties. And the public also appears to be sharply divided over his nomination. What's your take on this?

4. Also unexpected was the appointment of former executives from the country's tech giants with the former Naver CEO tapped as the Minister of SMEs and Startups, and an AI strategist for the LG Group as the science minister. What are your thoughts on this?

5. As for the special probe into former President Yoon Suk Yeol, will we be able to see him appear in court tomorrow? Is the investigation picking up speed?

Alright, Professor Song, thank you so much for your insight today. We appreciate it.
