Who is Choi Sang-mok? Finance minister becomes South Korea’s second acting president in weeks after Han’s impeachment
Han was replaced amid disagreements with the opposition on appointing justices to the Constitutional Court, which started deliberating an impeachment trial of President Yoon Suk-yeol after the opposition-led parliament impeached him on December 14 for his short-lived declaration of martial law on December 3.
Minutes after Han was impeached by parliament, Choi vowed “an all-out effort to stabilise state affairs” and overcome the current crisis, in the text of a speech issued by the ministry. He has pledged “unlimited liquidity” to calm financial markets, spoken with US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to reaffirm strong ties with South Korea’s biggest ally, and sent letters of reassurance to finance chiefs of major nations.
“Choi is more trusted by the opposition party lawmakers than Han Duck-soo, as someone who openly opposed Yoon’s martial law plan,” said a former minister who sought anonymity as the issue is a sensitive one.
