The Korea Communications Commission dispatched two public officials to the Presidential Transition Committee. There are also two people from the Ministry of Science and ICT.
According to government officials on the 21st, the Korea Communications Commission dispatched Sora Lee, Director of User Protection Division, and Youngkwan Kim, Director of Broadcasting Infrastructure Bureau, to the Science and Technology Education Division of the Transition Committee. Director Kim was initially scheduled to be dispatched to the Social Welfare and Culture Division, but it is reported that he will be transferred to the Science and Technology Education Division as the media sector governance will be handled by Park Seong-joong, secretary of the Science and Technology Education Division, and Chung-Ang University professor Seong Dong-gyu.
At the Ministry of Science and ICT, on the 21st, Lee Chang-yun, director of basic source research policy, and Yoon Seong-hoon, director of public energy coordination, were dispatched to the science and technology education division.
However, none of the public officials in charge of information and communication technology in charge of the second vice ministers office in the Ministry of Science and ICT were dispatched.
Accordingly, concerns are growing whether the next government, Seok-Yeol Yoon, who advocates for a digital platform government, will be able to lay the foundation for a proper ICT policy.
Economics Division 2 in charge of industry and employment includes only the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries
The 2nd Economic Division of the Transition Committee is in charge of industrial and job policies. Although it is necessary to create future industries and jobs by accelerating digital innovation, two people were included in the acquisition committee, including △ SK Telecom advisor Yoo Woong-hwan and △ Kosan A-Team Ventures CEO.
There is not a single person in charge of ICT among the expert and working-level members.

An industry insider was depressed, saying, “Since Yoon Seok-yeol, former Minister of Commerce, Industry and Energy, Yun Jin-sik, who disbanded the Ministry of Information and Communication, was included in the camp, ICT alienation was expected.”
