Speaker Kang Chang-hee has named his chief of staff Chung Jin-suk as new secretary general of the National Assembly, officials said Thursday.
Chung started his career as a journalist at a local newspaper, and entered into politics in 2000, winning a constituency in South Chungcheong Province, which was represented by his father, former six-term lawmaker and Interior Minister Chung Seok-mo.
Chung was elected to the National Assembly three succesive times from the 2000 race. He served President Lee Myung-bak as a senior secretary for political affairs for nearly a year from July 2010.
This year, he ran on the Saenuri Party ticket, representing Jung-gu, Seoul, but lost the election.
The National Assembly is scheduled to vote on the designation of secretary general in a plenary session Friday.
