President Moon Jae-in is facing criticism even from within the ruling party after revelations that candidates he nominated for ministerial posts are accused of wrongdoing, but he has refused to replace Kim Oe-sook, his senior secretary for personnel affairs. Kim is part of Moon s inner circle and widely expected to be safe in her job until Moon s term ends next year. She was appointed in May 2019 and has been responsible for some of the worst personnel disasters, including fly-by-night Justice Minister Cho Kuk, his successor Choo Mi-ae, and the presidential secretaries for civil affairs Kim Jo-won, Kim Jong-ho and Shin Hyun-soo, who all left in disgrace when public discontent became too great.

“Bossam: Steal the Fate” is a historical drama about the fateful romance that occurs when a mysterious rogue named Ba Woo (Jung Il Woo) accidentally kidnaps Princess Soo Kyung (Yuri), the widowed daughter of King Gwanghae.
Director Kwon Suk Jang was not in attendance at the event, but he shared his thoughts through a video message. The director made his name with hit dramas like “Pasta,” “Golden Time,” “Miss Korea,” and “Avengers Social Club,” but this is his first historical drama.
“I cast Jung Il Woo because he had done a lot of historical dramas and I felt like I could depend on him,” the director explained. “I spoke to him beforehand and he had a lot of conflict about his ambitions and the kind of acting he wanted to pursue. I thought that that was an amazing attitude to take. When he said that he felt that working with me would help him improve on what he had done in the past, I was hooked.”
