Spokesperson Kim previously worked for the media-specialized outlet Media Today, and has been active as a commentator on various broadcast programs, including hosting radio current affairs shows.


The position of Blue House spokesperson had been vacant for about five months, since the previous spokesperson, Jeon Eunsoo, resigned at the end of April to run in a by-election as a parliamentary candidate for Asan, Chungcheongnam-do.



With Kim's appointment, the office of the Blue House spokesperson is now comprised of three members: Chief Spokesperson Kang Yujeong, Spokesperson Kim Sungwan, and Deputy Spokesperson An Gwiryung.
