After the vice-ministerial appointment on the 4th, the Presidential Office said that `Vice Minister Yong is a bureaucrat with more than 30 years of policy experience in the overall work of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, including culture and arts, contents, and public relations.' `We expect that he will contribute to the realization of a global cultural powerhouse by not only having abundant practical experience and theoretical foundation in the field of culture and arts policy, but also having an excellent understanding of the philosophy of state affairs and driving force.'
